Adoption lady would not leave! She brought us our baby, then just froze... I had to exit out w/o saving... I lost my baby! How do I prevent this next time... I have just sims2
These things just happen sometimes. Have you got the official patch from http://thesims2.ea.com/update/ ? You might have a stuck object blocking the lot. The safest/easist way around that is to move the family to a new house (you might need to use a money cheat to boost their money if they can't afford to move). If you must keep the house there is a hack you can download that might fix the problem. Post again if you want to know more.
