There are so many older children who are in the foster system and need to be adopted. I say it doesn't matter if you're married or single, if you have enough love and financial resources to support a child and are not abusive or mentally ill, why not let single people adopt children?
I think there should be rigourous testing and alot of background checks before the adoption is allowed with alot of checking in by social workers and family support workers after the adoption, til the child is 18 or out of hs or college.
Everyone wants babies, or toddlers but there are older children who need loving homes as well . So yeah if you want to adopt a child, single , married, straight or gay , why not. As the Beatles said all you need is love.

Yes, there are a lot of single men and women who are very capable of raising children. And there are too many children that have not been adopted and are waiting. The more people willing to adopt, the better for those children. If singles are willing, they shouldn't be turned away on that basis.

Yes I do agree with it. The children that need adoption will benefit from the relationship of a solid adult able to handle a adoptive child. One parent is better then no parent. I don't think it would be easy but I do feel that certain individuals could make the relationship flourish. Here's to any good person or persons wanting to adopt.

No, this is another example of erosion of the natural family: 1 man and 1 woman. We allow children to live in a single parent environment and it is not natural or healthy. Since we were made to reproduce with 1 man and 1 woman, we must set the standard of a family as 1 man and 1 woman. My attitude is the same for gays. Same logic. A healthy child starts with a healthy home.

It is refreshing to see such a change in attitude. I see so many replies all positive about the fact that single parents can be good parents. Sure parenting either singly or in pairs is hard, but people who choose (and are screened of course) to do this are very likely to provide warm, loving homes and security.
Three cheers for breaking with traditions and recognising good sense when it is offered.

I favor it as long as the people adopting are well screened and good intentioned.
The reason being, I believe that children need and deserve to be raised in the most beneficial atmosphere possible.

I think the ideal is great I have adopted 5kids and I am grateful that it was allowed. Kids need homes and families whether there be a two family home or single home they the love and support of parents.

Why shouldn't any child have at least one parent to love and cherish and take care of them? Would you take a child from a widowed parent? There are so many children out there that need a safe loving home who am I to withhold one from them just because there is only one parent...or a parent that is not the same racially...or a parent that is gay.

Yes, I do. single people raise their children all the time. Having a spouse doesn't make you a better parent.

Yes. There are soooooooo many children that need a good home and just because you don't have a spouse doesn't mean you cannot provide a good home. I give them props for opening their home to help these children get a better life.
