After travelling to Doriath with Gethron and Grithnir, he was found by Beleg, who gave him, Gethron and Grithnir food, and adopted by Thingol as a son after meeting the Elf-maiden Nellas in the woods. Before his departure, Sador offered him to give him his blade back, but he refused. When Túrin was eight years old, Morwen decided to send him to the Elven realm of Doriath. Unknown to Túrin at that time, Morgoth had placed a curse on all of Húrin's family. After Húrin was captured in the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, Túrin remained with his mother Morwen, who hid him from the Easterlings that Morgoth had sent to Hithlum, fearing they would kill Túrin or enslave him. On the morning of Túrin's eighth birthday, his father gave him an Elf-wrought knife, but he gave it to Sador. Túrin became a close friend of Sador the one-legged carpenter, whom he named Labadal ("hop-a-foot"). However, she died in childhood of plague. Urwen was loved more than Túrin, who did not speak often and seemed older than his years. He had a younger sister Urwen, whom everyone called " Lalaith" because of her laughter. Túrin was the only son of Húrin Thalion, Lord of Dor-lómin, and Morwen Eledhwen.
