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.

How do nuns bless other nuns?
There is a clearly defined hierarchy in religious houses. Usually a Mother Superior is in charge. Nuns cannot ( Bless) other nuns. I never heard of this. certainly religious superiors get their share of saluatations and ceremonial greetings, but that is not the same, as say one Knigh promoting another to say, Baron. Nuns are NOT ordained priest-equivalents thus do not fall under the sacrament of ordination. Only a Bishop can ordain priests. Nuns, after passing though what is called he postulancy- are in fact raised to the status of sister, but I am not sure who performs this honor. My Guess the Mother Superior of the convent= sometimes called reverend mother, or similar titles.
