Is it harder to get approved as a single parent or is it the same as if a couple were to try to adopt? This is something I've always wondered.

I don't know from personal
Mom2B Posted at 01:45 on Fri, 08/19/2011I don't know from personal experience but I would think the process would be quicker because the agency is just dealing with your training and your background instead of two people. I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on that.
As divorce becomes more
Amy Posted at 03:19 on Fri, 08/26/2011As divorce becomes more acceptable, so does single adoption. In the last 20 years or so single adoption has become increasingly more common and heard of. I would say it's harder because you have to be able to support a child alone instead of with the help of a spouse.
I don't think it's harder
MrMan Posted at 03:11 on Tue, 10/04/2011I don't think it's harder to get approved, persay but it is harder to make enough money. Instead of having a spouse to help make part of the money, you are responsible for making all of it. Legally though, I wouldn't call it 'harder'.. just 'different'.
I agree with you there.
Bubblez Posted at 03:00 on Wed, 10/05/2011I agree with you there. Being a single parent is extremely hard. When you're with someone, you get a break and can share responsibilities. It can really wear you down being a single parent. Trust me, I know. It has it's ups and downs.
