I think Single men have to rite to allowed to a child. Beacuse, single men always give the child pure love, secure home. Every single men have a full of love to give any one . So when a child to come or allowed to adopt a men who is sigle in life he must be give him or her this love which is God Precious gift.

No, the single man/woman should not be allowed to addopt a child. Because, when he/she decides to addopt a child than who gurantee that they can take proper care of that child. Because, living alone is there desicion at initial stage & after growing older they feel to have a support & someone who can take there care. So, such person who don't want to take care of any one in there whole life than why should they addopt any child, if addoption is required than someone who dosen't have any child for a long time after marriage or someone who think of addopting child even after marriage, they only should be allowed to addopt a child.

yes, why not? But there are two sides of one coin. If we talk about rights then why only women rights or to say mothers rights. Why not father rights?At international level father rights are being considered at greater level. There are numerous cases even before European court of human rights,where man has been demanding custody of its child or want to adopt a child. But, I think in the case of India, it will take some time to swallow the fact that man can also perform the role of good mother. Our social fabric is formed in such a way that we have a habit to follow what others follow. For example, if we see a women doing task of household job every day, we cannot imagine in our dreams that same women can be one of a famous business tycoon if given opportunity or shown right direction. It is only then we accept many things when bulk number of people do it, force it on us in different ways and we accept it. There is no originality.Neither in our thoughts nor in decision making. If it was then such questions would not arise.

Yes, why not. Five fingers in one's hand is not same. Likewise not all men are alike. There still exist some men who respect women, loves children & want to give them a home

Yes, I think they should be able to adopt. Single mothers can, why should man be held to the same standard. I do believe there are men who can give love, knowledge and discipline to a child without a spouse or partner. A child wants to be loved and accepted, it a single man can do it why not let him.

If he is financially stable, and able to love and care for the child then I see no problem at all. At least the kid wouldn't be in foster care until he/she was 18.

Why NOT..??! When woman & man are [to be] eQuAl on aLl fronts:> the Job front, the Armed Services, the Civil Police, the Bureaucracy, the Forest/Foreign Services; in the fields of Science & Technology, Outer Space, Politics...&c., {And,most of All,-in the Kitchen(!)} ~ then WHY noT in PARENTING [alone]- whether single or otherwise ... ??!?

YES! But not all kinds of males.
I believe that men who are mentally and emotionally prepared to and physically and financially capable of providing a better life to a child must be allowed to adopt. Their must be strict rules and code of conduct put in place to guide, monitor the overall development of the adopted child.

BUT, I am of a strong opinion that GAYS (& the like) SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED to adopt - no matter how good their financial or social standing may be.

its really a good thought. it will spread light in all those small hearts how want to live their life. being a single parent is a big responsibility, and if a man knows wat are his responsibilities and he has the confidence in himself tat he can manage his responsibility than why not? my 100% vote goes 2 this thought.

YES, single men should be allowed to adopt a child with all statutory compliances attached. There's nothing wrong in adopting a child when men are singles as the child could serve a source of lonliness for such men, which will keep both the individuals happy.


Luan Trenster
yes.it's better than the child dying without care.
though they cannot give them the love of a mother,they can provide with the basic neccesities of the child's life.
man should not illtreat them or make them work or just keep them without caring 4 them.
afterall a man can also reach to this field of adopting if a woman can reach men's field.
atleast the child would get a home and would not hav 2 wander 4 his basic needs.

in this materialistic world of today its poor sense for a dual parent leave aside a single parent to even have/adopt a child.the demands on life are too much and one really cant do justice to an unknown soul ...most of us are deluded to think of children when they remain frozen as babies for ever in their minds and get into adoption .to contend with the growing up years and handle a child which doesn't have your dna remains a great challenge in the later years....i have seen this in real life.if one wants to satiate their social obligations it would be better to adopt a child thru an institution and treat it as your own without paternalistic obligations of giving or expecting love in return

yes, In todays world, quite a few men chose to remain single. But in a world with so many orphans and homeless children, there are many men who wish to adopt children to give back to the world and help the kids. Knowing that it is a conscious decision taken by them where they choose the child/children, their love for them is greater.

If single women can be permitted why not single man. I f the intentions are good and proper care & dedication is present then being single should not be a hinderance.

It is better than letting a child grow up in institutions or foster care. A single parent can provide a loving home.


parash p
If that particular person is interested then why WE should not allow.


Ray S
A single parent adoption needs careful concideration, no matter if it is a man or a woman. In most cases an agency would rather adopt to a two parent household. The general puplic may think that a single man wanting to adopt has other motives. Though question.

Why Not???

Any responsible adult should be able to adopt. There are way too many kids without homes to start making restrictions based on old moralities. I do feel having both parents is the best situation (because they have more time available and better financial resources), but there are many single parents that do just as well and it's better than having them growing up in some group home.

I work in a boys group home counseling foster children. They are suffering because of their parents mistakes not their own. A lot of them have behavioral problems because of their situation but there are quite a few that have very minor problems. The state doesn't mind at all having them adopted by single adults. These boys would do really well in a home with a strong male role model.
