Additionally, if a Sim initiating adoption has a memory of losing a child to the social worker, they will be rejected for adoption; this restriction does not apply to other adult Sims in the same household who do not have that memory.

If the player exits without saving after Buy and Build modes are re-enabled, the adoption will be undone and can be re-done the next time the player loads the lot.
