Who else likes adopting?

I just love adopting in The Sims 3. There are so many haters going on about how they're "ugly" or don't have the same genetics as the parents, but that's what to love about it. Thinking them "ugly" is very subjective, as the sims you create are the one's you think are attractive. Sometimes it just so happens the sims I've adopted have grown into beautiful/hunky men and women.
While it's amusing to play around with genetics, sometimes the randomness of adoption adds spice and a whole new dimension to the game. If adopted as babies, you don't have a clue what they'll look like as grown ups. That makes it all the more interesting.
I've always wanted an option to adopt in a foreign sims "country". In World Aventures there's basically Egypt, France, and China. A couple (or single) could make a trip to adopt in foreign land

Thank you @MDianaSanders for halloween-fying Golluma
Every single adoption has all their facial sliders set to 0.
Thats why they are ugly and look the same.
Not necessarily ugly, but they get so annoying seeing them that I think it is ugly now.
All EA generated townies have the same facial genetics.
Thats why people dont like them.
All that said, I don't know why they don't have a way to randomize the features more on townies (and IFs, genies from lamps, adopted kids, etc) so the sliders aren't all at 0. Perhaps so they don't end up with weird extremes. I don't know.
What mod is that?
I have a couple so I'm not 100% sure what does what, but I think its Twallan's Story Progression. I press shift and click the sim, choose Edit Sim, go to the face section, and a second randomize button comes up just for faces. I do it as soon as they show up, because it restarts their ages to the beginning of their age group.
It's not that they're ugly it's that they all have the EA preset features, therefore look the same. It gets boring when all of your sims look the same all the time, having the same features and such.
Will some day though.
Probably not SP but maybe MC. I'll try that. I hate the pudding faces (they aren't necessarily ugly, just bland). The one thing that's kept me from doing a lot of adopting is not wanting my town genetics to all end up looking the same. My SP settings do not allow maids/bartenders/etc (who all have pudding faces) to breed.
I've adopted once or twice in the Sims 3, but I can't remember what happened.
I also like adopting. I haven't done it very much recently because I play a legacy and adopting would pretty much be useless. I also like the idea of adopting foreign children.
Last time I tried, there wasn't an option for anything other than Human. Maybe I'll try again soon (I have a partnerless Sim) & see if the baby/toddler/child is Supernatural. That'd be nice!
I've never noticed their faces. I don't alter my Sims much, just kinda keep 'em random from the beginning CAS (unless their features are too big for my liking)& marry in townies...
Of course, since my main household consists of seven males, four of which are married, it's an inevitability. (Unless I...did some magic with one of them.
I don't mind. It doesn't matter what their kid looks like, it's still their kid.
I figure, the kid needs a home, so why not?
