Adoption for singles

[PurpleMD]

Well, since no one seems to be steppn' up to the wedding bit...I'm planning on moving to the next life goal of becoming a mother.

I'm trying to decide between international versus domestic adoption of an infant, a set of twins or possibly a sibling pair with an infant.

Adoption, as it turns out, is much more expensive than just going to the local sperm bank and choosing a "frozen Pop" from the catalog. But, this way, saves the nine months of pregnancy related issues, questions about the father, etc.

Anyone else out there adopt children while single?

Would you adopt a big dog if you lived in a small island lighthouse? Then why would you adopt an infant while being single? This is not kind and not wise IMHO.

Good for you...adoption is a great option!!! Congratulations to you.


There is nothing wrong with single people adopting, if you have the money and the support from your family....then more power to you. I may do that as well in the future...im not making as much money financially yet...I still have work to do. Let me know what you decide. Wayne.

If adoption is something you can do and you feel you can support and love the children, then please do so, there are so many children out there that need help, homes and love.

I have had friends tell me to do this, as they know so much my love and desire for children, and as a child of a single mom, it is not something I could do with enough love and feel right about. I know, my mom loves me and did what was best for me, but there's always been that wish, that desire for a dad to share things in my life with. So for me personally, mostly because of my own experience as a child of a single parent, I know I have enough love for many children, because of that, as a single, I could not adopt without a husband, a dad for them.

Pray and if you feel it is right for you, then Praise God, go for it! God will open the door and make it clear.
God bless!
