You can have '''children''' only if you are [[Marriage|married]] and have upgraded the [[Farmhouse]] for the second time which adds a nursery and an extra room. After you go to bed for the night, your spouse might ask (1/20 chance) if you want to have/adopt a child. You can answer "yes" or "not now." Same-gender couples will adopt children, and opposite-gender couples will have biological children. If you [[Carpenter's_Shop#House_Renovations|remove the crib via a house renovation]], you cannot have new children (whether adoptive or biological) unless the crib is replaced.

You can only have two children, one male and one female. The gender of the first child is random, and the gender of the second child is the opposite of the first child. Children never grow up past the Toddler stage (Stage 4). You will have the option to acquire a second child only after the first child has grown to the Toddler stage.

If you maintain a 10-heart relationship with your spouse, already have the [[Farmhouse|nursery]], have not [[Carpenter's_Shop#House_Renovations|removed the crib]], and have been married for at least 7 days, there is a ≈5% chance that you will be asked if you want to have a child.  If you agree, the baby will be born after 14 days and appear in the crib in the nursery.  If you say "not now", there will be a ≈5% chance that your spouse will ask again, each night that you are married (and maintain 10 hearts).

For the first 14 days in the nursery, the baby will stay sleeping.  After this, they will begin to stand in the crib (except when sleeping) for another 14 days, but you can play with them. Once this stage has passed, they will be allowed out of their crib for another 28 days to crawl around in your house during the day.

The adoption process is very similar to having a child biologically.

If you agree, the adoption will occur after 14 days. While you are waiting for your child, your spouse will tell you that the adoption paperwork has been filed.

* Friendship with children is subject to [[Friendship#Decay|Decay]] just like with normal villagers; specifically, each day you don't interact with a child, friendship decays by 2 points.  When a child reaches 10 hearts, decay stops.
