Adopt children before receiving the letter about adoption

skyrim-hearthfirethe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I never got a letter about adopting children. When I go to the Honorhall Orphanage the girl keeps running around saying "Mercy!" because I killed Grelod the Kind. Can I still adopt children?

Best Answer

In addition to adopting from the orphanage in Riften, you can also adopt some children in other cities as well:

  • Alesan in Dawnstar
  • Blaise in Solitude
  • Lucia in Whiterun
  • Sofie in Windhelm
