I "sold" a kid (went away to be a star!) for the first time today. My peeps were really poor and I decided to let her go.

I've accepted every adoption that was offered. I've gotten some interesting kids!!

I only let the talent agent take them away if the family is desperately poor, I kind of see it as the child getting the chance to make his/her family proud. smile

I've only rejected adoptions if I wanted a set amount of children in one generation or if there are 5 children already and I want a specific child.

I've only had two adoptions and accepted both, but I won't let them start the next generation. I did let one kid go with the talent scout, but I felt so bad about it I'll never do it again! blush

No to both. In fact, "No way" to both!

No, have never sent a child off to be a star. No matter how poor the family may be, I look at it just as like life....a struggle.
And NO to rejecting an adoptee. Even if cuts down on that family having the chance for twins or triplets, just can't say 'no'. And it is always fun to see what the newest arrival will look like. Believe a couple of my adoptees have ended up
taking over the next generation.

The last time I let the talent scout have one of the children when my family was poor, there were more than one of them with a serious/grave sickness and I had to choose between having them pass away or sending one of the children away. frown

Life is full of decisions and I find that a lot of children want to feel as though they can make a difference for their family. I know I did! I wouldn't want my daughter or son to feel as though they have to provide for me, it just happens in life sometimes.

I always send the kid off with the talent agent and accept adoptions. The one exception (when I rejected the talent agent) was when I wanted to rename a kid first.

I always adopt them. I have sent a kid to stardom if I know he/she will be left alone in the house. I got adoption not realizing the parents were age 60. So the following day a scout talent arrived and said he can go. It was just as will as his parents both died just after. Would of been only age 8. Anyway I redopted him back to take over the house. Aged very fast from 8 to 24.

I seriously thought about selling a kid once when I really needed the money, but I couldn't bring myself to do it in the end.
I've also NEVER made it to six kids before, so I adopt every child I can to try to get that dang trophy!
