Yes! It's more difficult to do a private adoption but if you're looking at kids in the foster care system, there's a very good chance. :)

It is possible in the US, but most foreign counties do not allow single men to adopt. You may try private adoption agencies. It may sound harsh, but I doubt it will be easy if you go through the state agencies. Even though things are progressing, state agencies are more likely to place a child in a two parent home. Best of Luck!

Contact an adoption agency in your area. They'll have the most accurate answer.

I would research the effects on a child growing up without a mother first

It happened in highlander 3, so who knows.

I have heard of a single man adopting. There is no law against it and as far as I know if you have enough money and space in your home youve got a good chance.

You should definetly try. The country is moving forward when it comes o this

Wish you well
