They may meet all the criteria and still be turned down as adoptive parents. Single people are asked about their lifestyles, dating interests, and other personal questions to ensure they are good candidates as parents.
Just be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, and find a supportive agency to begin the process. Joyce Morse is a full-time content marketing writer who is also a single adoptive parent and current foster parent. She has a seven-year-old adopted daughter who is her inspiration. Her passion is to help others understand the miracle of adoption and the needs of children who are looking for their forever homes. Any birth children in the family will need to be at least two years old.
This is because an adopted child needs to be the youngest in the family, often by a couple of years. We will take any religious beliefs into consideration when placing a child to ensure any placement meets with the beliefs of both child and parents, where required. If you have a medical condition, or have had a recent life event such as a bereavement, a major illness, or anything that may impact your emotional health, please let us know from the start.
If you have been having infertility treatment, such as IVF, we would normally expect this to have ended before you apply to adopt. We prefer you to wait at least six months between your treatment ending and formally applying to become an adopter.
As part of the adoption assessment process, you will be required to have a medical assessment. Being disabled will not automatically exclude anyone from becoming an adopter and it is recognised that people with disabilities are able to provide a very loving home for a child. This gives friends and family members a tangible way to help. Is your current list of supportive friends and family members very short? You may need to branch out to meet a few new people.
Try attending a support group for single parents or a group hosted by your adoption agency. These can be great places to meet like-minded single parents that could help you form a supportive community. Look for local adoption events that you can attend to meet new people and friends that might be able to join your support system. Can you manage a newborn or would your lifestyle be better suited to an older child? Answering questions like these can help you to make better decisions regarding which adoption route you want to take.
Not all adoption agencies will allow for single individuals to adopt a child. You need to do a lot of research on which ones can work with your single status. Ask about their experience working with single families. If it is a small agency, you might even want to ask how many adoptions they have facilitated for a single parent. This should give you a better idea of how well they are going to work with you.
You need an adoption agency that offers you the preferred age of the child and the right level of need for each child.
