Yes. And good for those who do...kids would rather have one loving parent than none at all. |

Yes! Many things factor in to adoption, not just your marital status. Your career, income, lifestyle, other family members, and overall stability all come in to play. Good Luck. |

Yes there is no problem adopting when single. You still go through the homevisits and everything like couples and I know of many single woman who have adopted recently. |

YES. I am single and adopted my son in 2005. He was born in Guatemala. A single person has to go through the same hoops as a couple would, but it is a little harder in a sense that they have to prove that they can handle everything alone. For a couple, it's still a trying process, but includes more paperwork.
By the way, it was the best decision I've ever made. |
