Changes

The player is able to have children after they upgraded their house for the second time and are in a [[marriage]]. If the player is married to a character of the same sex, you will be able to adopt children. Going to bed before your spouse will lead to a higher chance of being asked if you want to have a child.

You can have children only if you are [[Marriage|married]] and have upgraded the [[Farmhouse]] for the second time. After you go to bed for the night, your spouse will ask if you want to have/adopt a child.  You can answer "yes" or "not now."  Same-sex couples will adopt children, and opposite-sex couples will have biological children.

You can only have two children of different sex that will not pass the Toddler stage. When your elder child has grown out of the crib, another child may be acquired soon.

You can only have two children.  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 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).
