Which game version are you using?

Using the version for the base game. I also have the inteenimator in my game.

I will double check that version & let you know if I find any problems.

I just posted a new TS2/EP1 version with only the default text included it may fix the problem some of you are having with that version.

Great!!!! In "real" adoptions the parents can chose the sex, why not in TS2?  Thanks so much!!!!!

[Squinge]

I just posted a new adoption pool version for EP3 that prevents the game from erasing adopted kids memories.

I have a question about the shrub: does this shrub replace the Teleport shrub? Because I already have an edited Teleport shrub that adds the option to convert someone into a Downtownie (in addition to townie). I like that feature, so I'd like to be able to keep that version of the shrub as well.

If it's the teleporter shrub plus the yes it will replace it.

I just posted a new version of Inge's teleporter shrub plus with want satisify & memories both parents will now get the adoption memory, also the social worker now takes sims that you put up for adoption.

Thanks so much!  

I did notice one thing, however - the person who chooses to put the child up for adoption ends up going in the social worker van with them and they leave the lot.  (It was kind of funny to see the mom wave to everyone and get in the van)  
The social worker still takes the child and the memory is given, but the parent goes, too.  Is anyone else having this occur?

That's strange it doesn't do that in my game
 
edit: I don't know what would cause that, I took that function from where the game calls the social worker so the parent shouldn't be doing that.

Weird that it doesn't happen for you.  
I tested it on an OFB installation with no custom content and no hacks except for this one. The parent actually hunches down and becomes kid-sized before he gets into the van.
The parent's picture remains on the left side of the screen so he is still considered to be part of the family.  What I did was just summon him back to the lot.

Edit:  Okay, strike that as a viable solution.  When I summoned the parent back (via the shrub) and saved and returned to the lot, there were two of them.

lol, that's kind of funny(sorry I'm sure it's not funny to you), could you post a picture of that ? it almost sounds like the shrub is putting the parent up for adoption, have you installed the ep3 patch?
 
edit: I just realized that it doesn't work for teens it only works for children or younger.

Squinge, I noticed you are using the "old" teleporter shrub, that doesn't include the option to turn someone into a downtownie. I have modified your "enhanced" bush to restore this function, would you mind if I share it with others?

I have previous permission from both Inge and Torkle to use their code, but for obvious reasons would prefer your additions as well.
If you want I can send the file to you first so you can test it for errors.

With this new version (25/05) do we still need the "children put-up for adoption memory" mod as a seperate mod or does this new shrub includes it?
