Can i adopt at my age with my circumstances in the UK?

Question

Im a 24 year old woman, heterosexual, single, no kids. Work full time and earn just shy of £27,000. I own a 2 bedroomed house in a nice part of town and live alone. As far as i know i can have children but i dont want to go to a sperm bank and want to give a child who needs a home one. No criminal record. I really feel ready to have children. DO you think i would be able to adopt?

Answer 1

yes i think so and how nice and kind of you, i wish you every success in this endeavour, that child is going to be very lucky happy.

Answer 2

Yes i think you would be perfect.exactly what they are looking for.nice pic by the way!

Answer 3

Alot of councils would prefer you to be a little older (late twenties prehaps) but will consider anyone over 21.  

The fact you earn good money and have your own home are definately plus points but the fact that you work full time and have no partner may prevent harm you application.  

You would stand a better chance of adopting a school-age child in your circumstances.

Answer 4

Yes, authorities are happy to let single parents adopt. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes you can be single now, so much has changed where adoption is concerned, but im sure you fit the criteria perfectly, good luck xx

Answer 6

I would say yes.

Answer 7

YES BUT HOW ABOUT GOING INTO FOSTERING 1ST TO SEE HOW YOU GET ON THEN IF YOU ENJOY IT LOOK INTO ADOPTING I WISH YOU LUCK AND HAPPINESS IN FINDING A LOVING HOME FOR SOMEBODY X

Answer 8

Yes I think so but you'd have to ask this question to your local authority to know for sure.

My only question would be who will raise the child whilst you work full time.
