No, you do not have to be married to adopt a child. Although it is a bit easier if you are.

No you dont have to be married to adopt. adopting is just based on if you can provide a happy life for the child. If it is and the adopting person is a good clean person then even without another person wont matter.

I dont think you do have to be married, but i think it would help in adopting more easily if the agency sees a two parent family that is stable, but they also look at things like your financial status, career etc.

YES-you can adopt even if you are not married! There is a long process to go through, and someone who is married is more likely to get chosen, but it is possible.

No you dont have to be maried. You just have to have a stable, suitible home, and a paycheck that will easily support you and your child. You also have to do regular checks to make sure you are handleing the child apropriatly.
