Yep, you can only adopt two kids total for the whole game.

I know this isn't me filling the mod, but I know a fix for the creation kit. Have you tried editing the SkyrimEditor.ini? It's in the main Skyrim folder, and when you open it up, you find SResourceArchiveList2. Add Dawnguard.bsa and/or HearthFires.bsa to the list of files (Looks like this when you're done: SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Hearthfire.bsa). Dawnguard and Hearthfire both crashed the creation kit until I did that, now it works fine. Hope it works for you.

I was wondering if there was a way to raise the adoption limit? Or a way to make the homeless kids go to the orphanage? (Mod-wise, I know you can't do it in the vanilla game) I ask mostly because I found 4 homeless kids in the game, and I want to adopt them all, but there's this pesky limit in the way. Or, I would like to at least be able to escort them to the orphanage in Riften (after you kill the bitter old shrew that runs it of course), because I don't like the idea of only saving 2 of them and then leaving the other 2 in the cold. Same thing with Aventus Aretino, he talks about going back to Riften and then never leaves his house. I don't know if it's just his programming or if it's a bug, but I'd like to get him back to Riften. You don't have to make him adoptable, though I do imagine some people would want to adopt him. I mean, come on...kid's got initiative, who doesn't like that? I hope I explained my request decently enough.
