some agencies allow single people to adopt and some don't. Some states have different rules too. It is expensive to adopt. Try becoming a foster parent and adopting that way. Its cost little to none to you. And then you'll truly know if you are ready to be a parent and the adoption people will know how you as a single parent. As to where you work, as long as you make enough to support a child, that is fine. You don't need to be rich, just a caring loving parent. Good luck and I hope you get a child.

Basically, adoption applicants are assessed on a whole range of things such as relationship status, security, parenting ability, lifestyle, and financial stability. l don't know what you earn, you certainly don't have to be a millionaire to adopt a child, but you do need enough financial security to raise a child and give them what they need. The best thing you can do is ring an adoption agency, and ask for a preliminary interview, or attend an information session. They should be able to give you a clearer idea of what requirements you need to fill, and also help you to know if you are ready for the responsibility of a child. Just remember, if you really are ready and willing to do this, if it is just money holding you back, there are options for advancing your education and employment opportunities. Good Luck!

How do i think approximately single men adopting infants? with regard to an analogous way i think approximately single women folk adopting infants. Having a baby and having a extra physically powerful half are often correct yet no longer inevitably so. this is comprehensible that somebody could desire to desire a baby and not have a extra physically powerful half or spouse on the time. i do no longer in ordinary terms like the belief-approximately single human beings adopting toddlers (or maximum persons adopting toddlers for that count) because of the fact maximum toddlers do no longer somewhat desire adopting. As for what i think of of you in my view adopting, i do no longer comprehend you. Edit: "Suspicious. You in no way comprehend if the only male is a baby molester." information flash: You in no way comprehend if a married woman is a baby molester for that count.

You should become a foster parent and adopt that way. You would have quite a GOOD chance in my opinion. My mother is a social worker and there are tons of single people who are foster parents and end up adopting the child. Contact DCFS or Catholic services or Lutheran services they should be able to help you out. good luck!

Depends on finances and living situation. My boss is a single woman and has adopted 2 kids, 1 from South America, 1 from Asia. So it is possible.
Ask yourself this first:
Why don't you want a mother figure for the child? or any type of alternate help?
Raising a child is hard work! I commend any and all single parents doing their best.
Too many children need good homes, and if you can offer one, I say "God bless you and good luck!"

You don't have much of a chance for a domestic infant adoption simply because most expectant mothers aren't going to choose a single working class man to adopt their child.
Many foreign countries do not allow single men to adopt.
I have known single men who were foster parents, and adopted that way. They were only allowed to foster boys, but check your state laws.
