Single parent international adoption in the UK?
|
What countries can a single female in the UK adopt from? I need to know for a story I'm writing. I've tried researching it, but there doesn't seem to be much info about international adoption from the UK.
Additional Details
Jennifer L, I don't think so, I looked, and there's some info, but if you're trying to find out the requirements for each country, the websites only have like, information about 2 or 3 countries. Maybe I should look more.

We adopted internationally from the US. The laws and requirements on the foreign govt. side will be the same, whether the adoptive parents come from the US or the UK.
You will need to find out which countries have intercountry adoption programs with the UK. For US people considering IA, the US state department has a website that briefly describes the process, requirements and number of orphan visas issued by year. Does the UK govt have something similar?
ETA: Which country programs are you looking at?
ETA2: China -used- to allow singles to adopt, but not anymore. There may be an exception for special needs kids, I'm not sure. We adopted from Liberia. I don't know if Liberia has an intercountry adoption program with the UK or not. But Liberia does allow singles to adopt. |
