I totally agree especially about remarriage. Sometimes the first spouse could be a bit of a mistake (poor habits, cant have kids - that sort of problems.)

i wish we could have a little bit of history on the other kids. or like choose a marriage partner for them! i dont mind if they churn out a random no. of nieces/nephews for the current adoptee. then they could like visit too!

another issue would be the rooming assignments. six kids in one room? even in RL, most families dont stick their children into one room. this isnt orphan annie, ya know.
