Are couples sometimes required to get married?
|
before adopting? in the UK.
I saw a documentary a few years ago about an unmarried (straight) couple trying to adopt and but their being married was set as a condition.
I know that one does not have to be married to adopt, so i assume the recommedation was made secifically based on their case.
Does this still happen?

YOu don't have to be married to adopt but only one person can adopt the child. So for both to be the parents they have to be married the same is true in the US. Two single people can't adopt the same child. |

in areas such as the UK, russia, etc, they will most likely only allow you to adopt if you are a married couple. im not really sure that its always like that, but in my case thats what the adoption agency said. |

In many areas in the USA, you can adopt as a single parent, with the other person not living in the household, but cannot adopt as a living together couple. |
