📋 About This Mod

Update 05/24/20 - Fixed broken image links on mod description page.

Update 03/26/16 - Un-hiding this mod for the fans who contacted me to request it back.  There are no known bugs in this mod.  I've cleaned this mod numerous times and tested on a clean mod-free setup in Skyrim and it works, but please remember to check if your problem is a known Hearthfire bug before posting a comment.

Are you an Orc, a Dark Elf, a High Elf, or a Wood Elf and you are feeling the maternal instinct but you secretly wish to adopt a child from your own race?

Or do you just think that it is strange that there are no Orsimer, Dunmer, Altmer, or Bosmer children in Skyrim?  Well, this mod might be for you!

This mod adds three adoptable orphans to Skyrim: a little Wood Elf Girl in Riften's Honorhall Orphanage, a Dark Elf boy in Windhelm's New Gnisis Corner Club, an Orc Girl in the Largashbur Longhouse, and twin High Elf siblings, one boy and one girl, in Markarth's Understone Keep.

The little Wood Elf Girl is named Minna, the Dark Elf boy is named Zirain, the little Orc Girl is named Sher'Tul, the High Elf boy is named Solitar, and the High Elf girl is named Shalina.

As for the look, I figure kids typically start off cute and earn their scars and broken noses later in life.  I tried to blend a respectable amount of cuteness while keeping the original racial look (mostly) in place.

* This Mod requires Hearthfires! *

(I also highly recommend getting Prince and Pauper child outfits by JadeRoyale, although it isn't required for this mod to work.  However, the Prince and Pauper child outfits are shown in all of my screenshots for Sher'Tul, Shalina, and Solitar.)
