Hello CrazyMama-4,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help you get the child added to your Family Sharing group.

We see you viewed the Apple Support page for Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


We want to make sure you're trying these steps:

"Add a family member with an Apple ID

The organizer of the Family Sharing group can add a family member who has their own Apple ID.

  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Family Sharing, then tap the Add Member button in the upper-right corner.
  2. Tap Invite Others, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. You can send the invitation using AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. If you’re near the family member, you can also tap Invite in Person and ask the family member to enter their Apple ID and password on your device."

This Apple Support page has the full details to add them to your Family Sharing group: Add a member to a Family Sharing group on iPhone - Apple Support


If these are the steps you're taking, restart your device and try again. Has the Apple ID been used with more than one family within the last year?

We hope this helps to isolate the issue so you can add them without issue.

Cheers!
