Can a single person adopt a child?

Question

Can a single person adopt a child?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.
