Question

If I am in a committed relationship but not married, can we adopt?

Answer 1

to my understanding it depends on the agency because i know g*y and single people can ... so i do not think it would be a problem ... just need to find the right agency/organizations

Answer 2

good question

Answer 3

I totally agree with Sunny. Adopting a child is not a puppy. Unless you're committed for life, I don't see why you'd want to put a child through the possibility of you breaking up. If one of you adopted as a single parent, I think you'd have a lot better chances. The question is, is that person willing to raise the child alone?

Answer 4

It depends on the laws where you live. Where I live, common law spouses (including same s*x) can legally adopt. Single people can too.

Answer 5

Cripes, if you can't commit to eachother legally, what makes you think you can commit to an adopted child?

Answer 6

you should check the laws where you live they maybe conserende about you two breaking up and fighting over the child.
