Adoption bug

[GrimstaffToo]

Has anyone successfully worked out why it is that adoptions sometimes (often) just don't work?  As in: you adopt a kid, they say "i have to get my things together and say goodbye to everyone!" then... never go anywhere.  And then you cannot adopt any other kids, it only gives you the "no I don't have a home" option in the dialog.

And, in seemingly unrelated areas, you sleep and get the parent blessing as if you slept in your home with your kid.

This has been around forever, does anyone have any idea what this is or how to address it?  Sofie is just gonna die out there in the cold...

Hello.

This needs more information:

- You have any house mods ?

- You have any NPC Behavior mods ?

- You have Vanilla Script (micro)Optimizations installed ? If you have here's a fix: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/97901

You can try this here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/92845

But be sure what mods you have that can cause this issue.

This can happen no matter what mods you have, or don't have.  Its a flaw with the adoption system and has been a known problem since Hearthfires was released, I've seen it and read about others having the same problem for years.

So far, no problems.

In my game, it seems that adopting a child before completing the quest wrt Grelod and the orphanage causes this problem also.

I have tried all sorts of combinations and timing, doesn't seem to matter.  It just works sometimes, and not others
