Answer 2

We have been blessed with a wonderful child through the foster system. There are thousands like her just waitng for someone to call mom. I would assume that a mother looking to find parents for her baby would want a mother and a father for her child. However, children in the foster sytem are just waiting for you. Please consider.

Answer 3

There are lots of avenues for adoption, including domestic infant adoption, foster care adoption and international adoption.  Each avenue has its benefits and drawbacks.  So my best advice is to research all of them as thoroughly as possible in order to make the right decision for you.  

You certainly can adopt as a single parent.

Answer 4

well, you could adopt if you wanted to.  i think it's harder to adopt though if you don't have a husband or in a serious relationship.  Maybe you should try to settle down, find a husband before planning something like this.

Answer 5

Just be careful. Alot of scam artists out there .................

Answer 6

My little boy just asked me if he opens an Umbrella in the House will he lose his luck...  I told him that is what people say happens...then he asked, "If you wish again will it come back?" I told him I don't know...

With Infant adoption many times it is the mother giving birth who has the right to select the adoptive parents.... Not sure if there are any statistics but, It seems logical to me that a mother placing her baby for adoption would ***Generally*** want her child to have a two parent family...

Not that it doesn't happen--but, logic would dictate that the wait to find a mother willing to select an unwed mother is rather low... It does happen but, I suspect that wait would be long and the odds would be low.

Answer 7

go online and look for your local department of human services.. you can find it by google your state and "department of human services".... this will tell you your states rules and laws.. good luck and blessings

Answer 8

My advice is that if you do not have the time or the money to care for your adopted child then do not adopt him.A second advice is that a child should have both parents to become an adult with acceptable behavior.

Answer 9

I'm familiar with the foster to adopt process. It can be more lengthy and it may not always result in adoption, but it is a way to build an attachment with a child and if they don't return home to their parents, because you are the foster parent, you have the first opportunity to adopt them. This way you are adopting from a  population that really needs homes. This is a job for a strong person so if you're trying to adopt as quickly as possible this may not be your route. If you're interested, I encourage you to contact your local dept. of social services. It's also typically free!

And, being a single parent is fine, just make sure you work with an agency that doesn't have a twp parent family as part of the policy. I also recommend Coordinators 2 in Richmond, VA. They work with single parents as well as g*y and L*****n families. Good luck in your journey!
