The My Child New Beginnings import child from My Child Lebensborn feature lets you carry a child you raised in the first game into the sequel, using a Lebensborn import code. It is a Steam feature, it runs one way only, and the prerequisite is finishing the original game rather than starting the new one.

How the My Child New Beginnings import child from My Child Lebensborn works
Finish My Child Lebensborn Remastered on Steam. That completion is what unlocks the import.
Obtain a Lebensborn import code for the child you raised.
Use the code in the Steam edition of My Child New Beginnings to bring that child over.
The developer confirmed the code path exists but had not implemented it in the Steam demo released in June 2026, and stated that the demo was not yet optimised for the import codes, with more to come closer to the full launch.
One way only
A mobile save cannot be moved into the Steam edition. The mobile version has different features, a different economy and its own cloud save system, and the developer has said that providing cross-platform features is not practical. So the import runs from Steam Lebensborn into Steam My Child New Beginnings and stops there.
Where the imported child is saved
The imported child goes into one of the three Steam save slots, each of which is a separate playthrough. What each slot is for is covered here.
What the imported child still carries
The imported child is the same Karin or Klaus you raised, but in the new 1990s Norway setting they are no longer a Lebensborn child. The developer is clear that the child still deals with the same traumatic experiences that were hinted at in the first game, so the story reads out the same four values - Empathy, Optimism, Assertiveness and Trust - as any other playthrough. How an outcome is actually reported is here.
One thing to keep in mind before you import: the Steam launch planned for 10 November 2026 was postponed on 9 November 2026 after a critical issue was found, so the import is one of the features to check on the build you actually have.
