Is it wrong to adopt a baby as a Single parent, in this day and age? Tell me what do you think?

Question

I have 2 sons and I would love a daughter so I think adoption is a thought...tell me what do you think?

Answer 1

you should not make any kid go through having a single parent.  i have to and it is a nightmare. if you are going to get a daughter make sure you are ready to be a parent of a teenager and wont be a horrible and unfair mom to her

Answer 2

its a wonderful idea,,, but its a lot harder for a single parent to adopt, but you maybe lucky    good luck

Answer 3

I think it's a marvelous idea

Answer 4

i don't think anyone can tell you if it is right or wrong to adopt. that decision is up to you and you alone. people can say what ever they want,but what counts is your opinion.but i don't see anything wrong with it.

Answer 5

In some cases its better to have a one parent family.  As long as you have enough cash, time and energy and you feel you and your other 2 children could cope as a family I say go for it!  You obviously have enough love to go round.

Although as the mother of 3 boys and 1 daughter I'd advise another son, lol.

Whatever you decide to do the very best of luck to you and your possibly expanding family!

Answer 6

I see nothing wrong with it there are many single people who adopt. There are plenty of single parents who have natural children. As long as a person can provide for a child, all the power to them.

Answer 7

Yes, it is wrong. Kids want a mommy and a daddy to be normal. They hear the other kids talk about their parents and immediately wonder why they do not have a mommy or a daddy. Kids want to be normal until they are teenagers then they want to be independent but they will look for role models and for boys, it will always be and adult male they respect. It is only selfish adults that want to be single parents. Kids will always try to fill the thing that was missing in their life.

Answer 8

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I plan on being a single mom with numerous children. I say if you have love to give them and can provide a steady and safe home; go for it. don't let anything hold you back!!!

Answer 9

Children deserve to be raised in a two parent household. Single parent households are not ideal.

and don't be selfish. Do what is best for the child.

Answer 10

That's a lot for a single parent but as long as you have the means and the time then why not.

Answer 11

It is not wrong at all! There are many children out there that need a loving parent.

Answer 12

As long as you can afford one, mentally and monetarily.  If you are financially and mentally stable, I say, go for it.  Sounds like a great idea.

Answer 13

THAT IS A WONDER IDEA THERE ARE SO  MANY  CHILDREN WAITING TO FIND  SOMEONE TO LOVE THEM  IF YOU THINK YOUR LOVE AND YOUR SONS LOVE ARE ENOUGH TO GIVE ONE LITTLE PERSON  i AM SURE THAT CHILD IS WAITING FOR YOU TO TAKE HER HOME GOD BLESS

Answer 14

If you have the TIME, support from family and friends, strong finances, healthy male role models, and are healthy mentally, emotionally and physically, with no criminal/children's services issues, lots of energy, and just want to be a parent again -- then yes, it is o.k.

But if you work full time and come home stressed and tired, struggle to pay bills, have family that is not really there for you, partier friends, unhealthy males in your life, etc., then unequivocally -- NO!

Answer 15

Nothing is wrong with that as long as you can support them and have time for all three of them. There are many children out there who don't have that. So giving them that would be great.

Answer 16

i only ever had my mom around i never saw my dad and i turned out just fine. i dont think people need to be married to adopt now days

Answer 17

If you can afford to do so, then I don't see a problem. But in most cases, I know that it may be difficult since you may have to work more hours to support your children, which may mean spending less time with your little ones. Just my two cents, but best of luck with whichever decision you make.

Answer 18

If you feel that you could support another and still be readily available to your children, then perhaps...but how are your sons,and how do they feel about it?

Do you have enough time and resources to take proper care of them, are they feeling neglected in any way...do they have all that they need and are they doing well in school, are they emotionally healthy and well-adjusted?

...if not, then no.

Focus more on the ones you have.

People who claim some desire to have a child of one particular gender make me question their motivations a tad...I am quite contented having two healthy well-adjusted children, their gender is inconsequential to me.

Perhaps you should really just assess your life and the lives of your current children first, then perhaps you'll be able to form an educated and reasonable opinion on your own circumstances?

Good luck.

Answer 19

No, but the process might be a little difficult.

If you're a stable single parent and you have the finances and can provide love, emotional support, a firm hand (etc) for the child, I believe that you're pretty well off and you should give it a shot!

Answer 20

As long as you have the time & money to spend on raising all of your children in a loving & secure environment, I see no issue with giving a much needed home to a child in need.

Answer 21

Hiya!

No way is it wrong! There are so many kids out there looking for a loving home.

Bear in mind that their are no guarantees, and a girl may not be immediately available aswell as fitting the tight criteria!

Take care
