Skyrim - Top 5 Kids Who Need Adoption the Most

Not all of them just get around to playing tag. Some are in a constant fight for their lives.
Here I list my "Top 5 Kids Who Need Adoption the Most" in Skyrim. Someone could argue these are the best kids to adopt because of their very poor situations. As such, these can be some of the saddest encounters or locations one can find when exploring.
That's always a peak of interest - sad encounters. And in many are hidden things like Skyrim secrets, or weird secret encounters. Which often lead to fan theories or perhaps your own theory? Although here, deciding who the best children are comes down to some of the hardest decisions, as, generally speaking, the kids in this land don't give off such a good impression. Hm.
A teaser for TES6 can be found here if you're pumped: • The Elder Scrolls VI -...

This playthrough I'm definitely adopting Alesan and Sofie. I feel like Sofie and Alesan would freeze to death without a second chance. Alesan would definitely die an early death working in the mines as a child. They have the saddest stories and situations to me. And both are sweethearts and very hardworking. Once Grelod is dead, Honorhall isn't the worst place for the four kids already there and it's better than an abusive family for Sissel and Britte (I hope that Constance will be a good influence for Britte). Lucia and Blaise definitely have sad lives, but they live in warmer areas of Skyrim that are economically stable. Lucia could find her place working at the temple of Kynareth or the inn and Blaise could end up inheriting the farm once all the adults die or are too old to do anything (or I could just speed the process up and kill them all)? Regardless, I think these two could make a life, even in their current situations. But Alesan and Sofie would probably die before they hit their teenage years.

[@dozydoe5245]

Like each child liking different presents. Sissel could like spell books, since she'd been studying with Joanne and even practice her magic in nearby training grounds because it just makes her feel safe after all the things she went through. (You could even enroll her in the College of Winterhold after completing that story arc as a special favor from them for helping them.) She could be a book nerd and be found carrying one instead of playing with the other kids. Aventus could be more prone to alchemy or daggers after performing the Black Sacrament to summon the Dark Brotherhood successfully and/or be a bit more of a mommas boy/be concerned for your health when you check in (since his mom got ill and died). "(Mom/Dad), you don't look so good.. Are you okay? You've been getting enough sleep, right..?" Sophia could tend to her own personal garden after you purchase the land and even give you ingredients for potions as thanks every so often, happy she doesn't have to sell away the fruits of her labor to survive and can now just grow her pretty flowers for fun. I forget the name of the kid that has to tend to the farm for his Aunt after his parents died/were killed, but he could be more prone to bringing home animals because he seems to be good with them and could even ask you personally for a healing hands spell book he heard about from the Jarl's mage so he can go help an injured animal he ran into. This in turn could wind up being dialog for getting a pet.

[@Xanthriel]

I chose Sofie and Sissel. I feel for all the children (even britte to an extent) but all other children have a relatively fair future and chance. Lucia may be a beggar in white run, but white run is a very safe and relatively prosperous city where she may find work when she’s older. All the orphanage kids I feel have a great future when the place is taken over by Constance. The only other one I worry about is Anesan but I think despite his tough life, he has a good home with the miners in Dawnstar. Sissel deserves more than an abusive home and you could argue maybe she’d find a future with the town mage, but I still think she’s better off being adopted. Even if you take down the Windhelm butcher, the ground is still cold and windhelm is a harsh place for a child like sofie to the point the looked down upon dark elves take pity on her.

[@kathreath1]

Just in case anyone is unaware, there is a mod out there called Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions that allows you to adopt up to six kids. Just make sure you have a compatible house or else you won't be able to adopt more than two. Edit: Alternatively if it is not in your character's intention to adopt, there is another mod out there where you can send ANY child (orphaned or not) to Dragons Keep, an academy very like Hogwarts where they can learn to defend themselves! My "always adopt" are in this order: 1. Sofie (Always first) 2. Lucia 3. Sissel 4. Blaise 5. Alesan (I only choose Alesan last because yes, they work him to the bone but he has a warm place to sleep at night.) 6. Britte (only if I'm feeling generous. I did read online that once they are adopted, they treat each other as if they were strangers beforehand. I was of the mind to ignore her in the orphanage, but I went to go speak to her and she looked up at me and no sh!t, she said "..mama.." My heart broke.)

[@jameswhitley4101]

When I first met Lucia, I adopted her as soon as I had the resources. After that, however, I decided to be careful about who I adopted next, since I found out you could only adopt 2 kids.

Lucia and Blaise have been my children in every playthrough, as soon as I buy Breezehome they move in. They own every color of child's clothing, dozens of every toy and always have half a dozen healthy snacks in their inventory. They each have potions of ultimate healing, cure poison and cure disease. They both have a ridiculously high allowance; they each carry more gold than any shop in Whiterun. They both carry enchanted legendary dragonbone daggers that paralyze and steal health. They each have one pet, Lucia brought home a rabbit and Blaze found a mudcrab. Since every home needs a dog one of the Dawnstar huskies lives with us.

[@ryanhau1073]

Seeing some of the Orphan's backstory, there was some missed opportunities for interesting story threads. Like with Sofie, she lost her parents because they were Stormcloak Soldiers that were killed in battle. And Blaise's parents were in the Imperial Legion and they were also killed in battle. What if the player adopted both kids, it could have lead into a quest about both kid's feelings about the Civil War and eachother, and the player trying to be a good parent and manage any issues their kids might have with eachother. Also would add an interesting twist if the player found evidence that Sofie's and Blaise's original parents were killed in the same battle, it would give the player a moral dilemma of should they tell their children what happened, like it may give them some closure but at the same time may causes more problems between the kids

I always hesitated on who to get for her sibling, I adopted Lucia after a bit just because I felt bad for her, but in my second playthrough, after adopting Sofie and getting the SOlitude house, I ran into Alesan (literally) rushing around Dawnstar and after following him around I immediately knew he would be a good brother for Sofie and adopted him immediately.

I don't have a lot of family out there and the ones I do have, I'm not super close with. Things didn't go well with my company so I quit, and had to work making sushi at a grocery store for 3 months, which was exhausting work for me since I had long hours and started at 6:30 A.M.. On top of that, the house I was living in was in very poor condition, and for the first few months I was sleeping on a pile of blankets on the floor. Eventually I got a better job, moved back to Calgary, and now I'm back in school, but I do understand Alesan's struggle, at least to a certain extent. Working long, tiring hours just to be able to sleep on cold stone after being dropped off and left all alone. I get that. I've never adopted Alesan before, but I just started a new playthrough last week for the first time in a few months, and I'm definitely going to welcome him to my family with open arms.
