Teens should also be adoptable.

Although it is a challenge in real life, teenagers can and have been adopted. So, I hope EA will consider allowing teenage sims to be adopted. Honestly, I think Sims should be able to adopt a minor at any stage of development, infant, toddler, elementary age children and teenagers. It should be very simple. Just include some teenagers to adopt. It's a simple thing, but I think it adds an interesting dynamic to the game. Plus, as someone who was a foster child during my teen years, I want to advocate for teenage adoption.

Edit: meant siblings
I think siblings would be more appropiate. And maybe add the option to adopt them all at a time. For real mayhem.
100% agree.
That being said, I rarely use the formal/official TS4 adoption process. What I do if I want to adopt teens, or sibling groups, or "known" sims (nieces/nephews, kids of friends who die, etc.), is to move them into the household and then have them click on the adults in the household with the "adopt as caregiver" option (I believe that is what it is called, but it might be slightly different). That is better for my purposes, because then you have all the parenting interactions from the Parenting pack available to the adults, while the children still retain their previous family tree, genetics, etc. Also, I believe this interaction is available to teens as well.
Edited to add: this is also a great function for step-parent relationships.
Because as far as the Sims go back, we know that they take our kids away if our Sims fail to take care of their kids. So, why not add more depth to it and allow our Sim families to become foster parents. While other sims could open up their home as a foster home for the elderly. Just like an acting agent, you have to call child services or nursing homes, and let them know you have space available. They will show you a list with a short bio. Pick your poison and let the insanity begin. Each day your Sims in charge of their foster home will be given daily task and goals to complete. Your Sim should get payment to cover each seems cost of living. Your payment should progress depending on the task completed and the welfare of your foster Sims. Foster Sims should have the option of being adopted by your Sim or by other Sims. But Sim minors who have live parents, should also have visitation and the ability to improve themselves to earn their kids back.
I honestly like the idea of parents losing their kids but gaining them back. I think it would make for some interesting storytelling. Adoption should add an interesting way to tell interesting stories about our characters. I also think it would make some interesting scenarios both as the orphan or the foster parent. But I also think it would contribute to some humorous content for ourselves and YouTubers.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI would also like the option to adopt werewolf, alien, vampires etc babies and up. For me it wouldn't matter if you would know the child you are adopting is an occult but since I guess some would so there could be a little icon showing the supernatural/ occult sign for the children that aren't human.
I'd also like the sims 2 way back where kids that get taken also ends up in the adoption pool. So much more immersive and cool if another sim can adopt someone who got taken instead of you knowing they get deleted and new random kids get spawn for the adoption pool.
