Since Voidsent are inimical to all that has physical shape, invading from a realm with either no aether or little aether and wanting to feast upon it, it will be difficult to explain why that isn't necessary for one. If you want to go with ahead with this story line, the matter Jana mentioned should factor into the storytelling; ie. this child would have a constant hunger for others' aether and probably be inherently evil by nature. The child would be hunted by the authorities and anyone familiar with the nature of Voidsent. You could do it, I think, within a group receptive to the idea. The trick is giving a convincing reason for the Voidsent to not act like all other Voidsent we've seen. It's just my style personally, but my general approach to things that don't exist in the lore is to try and tie it to things that have precedent, aren't too difficult to explain with stuff that exists in universe, or failing either of those things, avoid directly contradicting anything that is objectively established within the lore, not subjectively established by interpretation. That is by no means how you need to do things, but it might be a worthy approach if you're willing to try it.

Now if the aesthetic of Voidsent appeals to you and not the narrative element, or you wanted to have her raise a child in a sense, something that might be more consistent thematically would actually be using a seemingly intelligent Mammet, a self-assembled doll resembling a child in the manner of your character using a Mammet heart, or one that can glamour itself. We've seen a smart Mammet and a lot of things are possible with Allagan technology, plus the synthetic child wouldn't be inherently a threat to others, just unnatural and probably mistrusted or feared. The idea of a doll raising a doll seems strange to us, but it would be possibly make sense to a synthetic life-form as her ward's needs are easier to intuitively understand. It seems more cohesive since there's a correlation between the characters, and anyone who would be okay with playing with one would *probably* be okay with playing with the other.
