In the future when I'm in my late 20s/early 30s...?

Question

...if I still wish to adopt a child as my own and I was single, would I still be aloud to adopt a child as long as I can provide the child with all the love, care and protection that he/she requires? Or, do you have to have a partner.

Are you allowed to be a single adopted-parent?

Answer 1

you're allowed - it's not just for celebrities, but it does cost a lot of money, and they may do some other screening, such as psychological testing, parenting questionairres, etc....

Answer 2

You are definately allowed to adopt being a single parent. It just may be a little more difficult. I had the same question, and I'm giving you the answer I got...you are able to adopt if you are single- you just have to have the right resources at hand.

Answer 3

Agencies tell single mothers-to-be that if they love their baby they will give it up to a stable two parent family

Ironically single adopters aren't a problem, probably because of the cash they bring to the agency

I can't stand hypocrisy but there you have it.  Yes it's apparently ok to be a single adoptive parent but not a single natural parent.  Good luck

Answer 4

You are definitely allowed, as long as you can provide for the child financially, emotionally, etc.. And the laws on this are improving all the time.

Answer 5

Yes, you can adopt if you're still single a that time. But, as the other answerers here mentioned, it would cost quite a lot.
