There is no legal reason why gay and lesbian people cannot adopt. Individual adoption agencies have their own policy, but they cannot legally discriminate. They will scrutinise your social and economic status, and whether you can provide a stable, loving environment in which to raise a child.

YES!!
Single-parent adoption has become increasingly more common in the U.K. -- Maximum age requirement for adoptive parents, 50.
