Not in the maternal sense, and I don"t believe they are permitted by the various By-Laws of the Orders to adopt children in the usual sense. They, do, and have, conducted all sorts of youth-related charities such as obviously schools, but also day care centers, orphan asylums, more common in Europe than the US ( war losses), and other activities that intimately involve children- they had 6 Dominican sisters as nurses at a camp I once attended- which was managed by Priests, and most counselors were Brothers.- so it is interesting to note Nuns are far more involved with children ( on a regular, daily basis, than are priests, and yet abuse incidents are much rarer.

I have heard that nuns have children do they?
There are nuns in such roles as orphanages, day-care, and of course, education which involve immediate and direct interaction with children. All things considered , there is much less abuse than with the padres. As far as I know the Religious orders do not permit the Nuns to directly adopt children, though there may be exceptions, called Boarders. If Adult- the boarders have job activities outside the convent, but do have sleeping quarters there. There is never more than one or two boarders at a convent at any given time. obviously they must be of the Catholic religion.
