Have you ever been adopted but then abandoned again for not being a good kid? If so, this will show you how to finally be a good kid!

Part 1
Behaving During Pre-Adoption

  1. 1
    Choose your animal. Most Jammers that are looking to adopt want something tiny such as a bunny. If you don't feel like being a bunny, try a seal, pig or fox. These are all cute alternatives! Jammers usually don't adopt horses or alligators unless they're going to be pets.
  2. 2
    Dress nicely.
    • For a boy, try a light blue/green/grey and wear the old hoodie and blanket.
    • For girls, try a light yellow/pink/purple or white and wear the old hoodie and blanket.
  3. 3
    Choose your personality. Maybe you're fancy, annoying, annoyed, mean, boisterous, frilly, tomboyish, shy, sporty, smart, kind, lovable, pretty/handsome, all of these, or a combination of some!
  4. 4
    Get adopted. When you get to the Pillow Room (next to the Sol Arcade), say things such as: 'Adopt me.' or 'I am a homeless baby.'

Part 2
Moving to Your Parent's Den after Adoption

  1. 1
    Follow your mom and dad to their den, after you get adopted.
    • Say things such as: 'looks around curiously'.
    • If your mom/dad puts you in your room, say things like: 'plays with plushies'.
    • If you really want to be great, say things such as: 'draws picture of mommy/daddy'
  2. 2
    Be nice. Once you are at your new home, wait for your parents by sleeping at the doorstep. Once they get home, say 'Hi' to them, or you could use baby talk if you have free chat. Ask your parents where your bedroom is, so if you have a sibling they won't get angry if you accidentally sleep in their bed. Always be kind to everyone in your new family, but maybe cause a bit of mischief to keep things interesting.
  3. 3
    Stay safe. Always add your parents before leaving the pillow room. Go anywhere that they go unless you're with a babysitter or they tell you to stay at their den, and don't go out on your own until you're older.
  4. 4
    Be nice to your siblings. If you have a brother or sister, always be nice to them so there is no big fights, try not to act spoiled and play with them, share your toys or food with them and try not to hog attention unless your a only child (including no pets)
  5. 5
    Don't fake being sick for too long. You can't stay sick forever. If you do want to fake sick, only stay sick for a little while, because your parents can't nurse you if you just keep being sick.
  6. 6
    Be a little risque. But don't do these things all the time. If you do, your mom/dad will ground you; or worse, they will send you back to the Pillow Room.
    • If your mom/dad has a den with stairs, pretend to trip and say 'trips, falls and cries'.
    • If you want to pretend your diaper is full, say 'diaper is full' or 'made a stinky'.
    • If your mom/dad has a kitchen, pretend to crawl in and say 'reaches for shiny objects'.
  7. 7
    Try to be as real as possible. When sleeping, say "-sleeps cutely-" if eating, say "-plays with food-" etc, its important to do these things so it won't seem boring to your parent.
  8. 8
    Be helpful. If your mom/dad was treating you nicely, help them with chores. Say things like 'helps mom/dad with stuff'.

Part 3
Growing Up

  1. 1
    Realize that everyone has to grow up. Once you've been with your parents for a while, it may be time to grow up into a kid, teenager, or grown up, and maybe even adopt your own kids! You can't stay a newborn forever, because it may cause your parents to get annoyed.
  2. 2
    Move on after you have grown. If you do grow up, don't stay in your parent's den. Your new kid or parents might get annoyed that you're still living with them, so if you do decide to grow up and adopt, make sure your den is a good enough den for kids, (including the basics, bathroom, kids bedroom, kitchen and your own bedroom, or you can add more depending the size of your den like, playroom, garden, pool, etc).
    • If you're pretending to grow up, say things such as: 'is now eight years old'. For those with no free chat, say 'is now four plus four years old'.
  3. 3
    Show your gratitude. After you have been to kindergarten, primary school and eventually high school, say to your mom/dad 'mom/dad, tomorrow is my graduation. thanks for raising me'. Then, tell them you're moving out with someone or you've gotten to old. If they say yes, go back to your den. But not before you give them a hug and a nice Jam-a-Gram!

      • If your mother/father get you a babysitter be aware the babysitter might want to kidnap you. if anything like this happens best thing is to report, block and leave as soon as possible once you out tell your mother/father about this. Not all babysitters want to kidnap you. So better to find out for sure whether they do before reporting.


      • Keep all of your rare items off trade, your parents may try to scam you with your rare clothing items by saying: "Can I try that on" or with rare furniture they could say: "I just want to see how it looks in my den!"
