Should I wait to Adopt a child?
|
It is my life goal to adopt. Though I am only 20 I would like to start the adoption process as soon as I turn 21. I have been researching all types of adoption for 3 years and believe I am emotionally and financially ready to provide for a child. I am still in college and single (a man isn't in the near future either). What should I do? Will I be able to adopt at such a young age?

This is a wonderful life goal. However, you need to think what is best for both of you. I would recommend waiting a couple more years, maybe until 23. You would be more fnancially secure, you would have 'lived' your life as a single person and gotten to know yourself more. There is a change in maturity/understanding between 20 and 23. And, with your strong commitment for adoption, waiting a bit to ensure the best for the child and yourself should not be a problem.
If you are not willing to wait, do you have a good support system? Family nearby that can help, or true friends? Raising a kid for couples who do not have extended support is difficult, so for a single parent, even more. |

In this world where anything goes, I am sure you would be able to legally do it, but should you? NO WAY. No child deserves to be raised with a too young, unmarried, mother. It needs to be about them, not about the mother. Every child deserves a chance in life, and I suggest you get a secondary education, and forget it. |

i think you need to wait untilget out of college and get a good place to live and a good job so you can give ur child all the needs !!! If you do adopt a child make sure you can do ur class online at home so that you can spend moretime wit her/his! |
