Adopting as a Single Parent
What Experts Say
If you're single and considering adoption, your options may be more limited than if you were in a stable partnership. There are some agencies that don't work with potential single parents, and there are some countries that are off-limits, too. Other agencies may dictate that single people can only adopt through their special needs or "hard to place" program.
But don't be discouraged! You can find single-friendly agencies and attorneys if you do a little homework. Dig around on the Internet and work to connect with other single parents who managed to adopt so that you can get your questions answered.
Lee Varon in Adopting on Your Own encourages you to surround yourself with supportive people...
