I've looked into this before (since someday I want to have a child in my life, but I seriously don't ever see myself in a relationship), and from what I've read they will be very concerned about your support network. Without a spouse in the picture, what will happen if your child gets sick on short notice and you have to work- will you stay home? Do you have a family member who can take care of him or her? What happens if you need someone to talk to when parenting is gets too challenging?
If you do have family and friends nearby, and they don't mind being involved in the process if that's what it takes, I don't see that you'd have any problems. Single parent adoption isn't as uncommon as you'd think. |
