I agree with you msharmony but at the same time, there are probly alarge number of children waiting to be adopted, that would be very happy if even just one person took them in, better than living in a foster home or orphanage forever while waiting for 2 people to decide to adopt, adoption is also a good way to have a child in the case of people that don't want to get married or have a significant other but still would like to be a parent.

It's also a bit selfish to keep potential good parents from adopting simply because they are single.

I think there are plenty of mother father couples waiting to adopt, and its selfish to not allow the child the opportunity to have that foundation .....where its available

and I believe whole heartedly that it is,,,

if u like to be mother u hv feelings like that then try to think about adopt kid other wise excuse the idea fairly....because this is vry tuff duty and single u can perform not easy task!

Do you have a great job?
Do you make a lot of money?
Do you have someone reliable to keep the child?
Do you have a nice hefty savings account?
When you go in these are the kind of questions
they will ask you. If you want a child, and you
are single...then I say IF you can afford it, do
it. There are so many children out there waiting
for a loving family. Just remember, you can NOT
return the child if you decide it is way to much
for you to handle!!! So make sure you know what
you are doing before you jump the gun!

I adopted my daugther as a single parent when I was 40. I wouldn't change it for the world. Yes, I've struggled financially at times and I've struggled with the fact that I haven't provided her with a father. However, when she sees so many of her friends having to live between 2 households she's fine with it just being me. My daughter has provided me with so much love and laughter - I've learned so much from her. I say, go for it! If you feel that you can provide the love and support that a child needs, then do it!
