Here are my stats for more info 28 years old, secondary school teacher, single in good health, own 3 bedroomed maisonette, no criminal record, no other children. Erm not sure if you need anything else. Note: This question is not about whether or not I should be allowed to adopt, I know that for some reason some people think children are better off in care homes or foster care than they would be without a father figure in the home of a single mother. I also know that it is written that I can adopt as a single mother but I want to know whether it is likely that this is just a smoke screen of political correctness and that infact the authorities would be prejudiced against me. As far as I know I can have children of have my own but I am not in a relationship and have felt now for some time that I am ready to become a mother and yearn to do so. Anyone can give birth but I want to be a mother, giving birth is irrelevant - what I mean by that is that to me personally, pregnancy and giving birth is not the important factor (if it were i would use a sperm donor) its what happens after giving birth that counts as making you a mother.
Many women give birth who cannot call themselves mothers by the way they have behaved to their children. Please no one take offense at that, i just mean to me personally, I got so roasted when I said that before by people taking it the wrong way. Best Answer: i beleive that many people in britain these days grow up with only one parental figure. But they turn out well.
How Hard Is It For A Single Woman To Adopt In The Uk Lyrics
My own father grew up with just a mother, and he has put both me and my sister through a good bording school, im currently in university. I personally beleive every child desrves to be treated like a mother would treat a child, when a child is adopted due to the fact that he/she is an orphan, the mother needs to show the same love and understanding that the original mother should have shown. If you do want to adopt, you should remember that all the child wants to do is make you proud, it doesnt care that your not blood related, he/she is just happy that theres someone who lover her/him. I think this is a lot better than growing up in a foster home! What do you mean 'get' a baby or toddler. You are not buying a puppy! The Facts: the only children who are up for adoption in the UK in 2010 are children who have been either taken from their families by social services and are for whatever reason unable to return to their families or - much less commonly - children who have been surrendered by their mothers.
These days we have no 'orphanages'. Children are rarely orphaned and if they are they are usually cared for by family. Many unwanted pregnancies are aborted so women are not left with 'unwanted' children. Teen and unmarried pregnancy is no longer a stigma and the welfare state supports even the poorest mother to be able to raise her child so children are not reliquinshed as a result of the mother's unmarried status or poverty, as they often were in the past. Taking all these factors into account, how many women do you think will CHOOSE to give their babies up?
So you're left with the ones who have been forcibly taken by Social Services and they tend to be older. For the simple reason that Social Services has to work with a mother and help her make adjustments so that she can keep her child before they are allowed to simply take them away and have them adopted. This can take years. So I'm sure you'll appreciate that the chance of being able to adopt a baby or toddler is 'very slim'. There are very few in the system. Being single shouldn't be a problem but if you think adopting a 'baby' is like going into a dog shelter and selecting a cute puppy you are surely mistaken. Adoption in the UK in 2010 is a whole different kettle of fish to how many people think it is (based on how it was in the 50s and 60s when unmarried women were 'forced' to give up their babies etc).
If you want to 'bond with a baby' I suggest you have your own child. I notice you deleted your question that I answered and I am still going to give you basically the same answer. Yes you can adopt in the UK as a single mother but these types of questions still upset me to be extremely polite about it. You wont be prejudiced just because you are single. You will be treated exactly the same as anybody else. Single women are 'encouraged' to surrender usually because they are young and single with one of the favourite reason being the child will be 'better off with two parents' yet single people can adopt.
I had wanted to adopt for a long time, even before I met my husband or had my biological daughters. I've always wanted a large family, like the one I grew up with in Italy, and I love the chaos. Yes, there are options open to single women looking to adopt internationally. Each country establishes their own eligibility requirements, so you will want to focus your research efforts on country programs open to single women.

These programs are excellent options for many single women. Is there any way to be adopted as an adult in the UK? Something in the law that makes the adoption hard to succeed. For a single woman to adopt children in.
I have a friend who was told her son would grow up gay if she raised him while she was being bullied into surrendering. Her son grew up with 2 siblings who were the aparents natural children - parents still together - yet he is gay anyway. I was also one of those young single mothers - aged 19 - but I had a secure well paid job with the civil service yet I was bullied and lied into surrendering because my parents didn't want the 'shame' of me being a single mother. 'As far as I know I can have children of have my own but I am not in a relationship and have felt now for some time that I am ready to become a mother and yearn to do so.' - nothing wrong with that but unless you know for a fact that you can't conceive then have your own or adopt a child from foster care.
Generally newborns don't need adopting as their mothers either choose to parent anyway or they get the support to raise their child. 'I just want to say I would rather adopt a baby or toddler so that I can build a bond from an earlier age, it must be very hard to build a bond when the child is older.' - be prepared for a long wait as it is much harder to adopt a toddler or baby as mothers are supported in their choice to parent.
'Anyone can give birth but I want to be a mother, giving birth is irrelevant - what I mean by that is that to me personally, pregnancy and giving birth is not the important factor (if it were i would use a sperm donor) its what happens after giving birth that counts as making you a mother. Many women give birth who cannot call themselves mothers by the way they have behaved to their children.
Please no one take offense at that, i just mean to me personally, I got so roasted when I said that before by people taking it the wrong way.' - sorry but I still find it offensive, cruel, insensitve, uneducated, hurtful and actually gut wrenching. Yes I do agree there are mothers who shouldn't have children but from the other side of the coin there are so many women in this world who surrendered because they were coerced into surrendering yet they weren't bad mothers and their only 'sin to humanity' was that they were single. I know, I'm one of them and coercion still goes on. Try living with the double whammy of surrendering and not having more children because of infertility. The point is the view point may be personal but you will be slammed for posting it as it hurtful to those of us who weren't supported in our choice to be a parent.

Many women adopt who can not call themselves mothers by the way they behaved to their children. Please, no-one take offence at that, I just mean to me personally because there're so many people who've adopted and then abused - and some have even killed - their adopted kids: If giving birth was irrelevant, then you'd go and do it instead of wanting to deprive a kid of their own family just so's you could pretend to make up one of your own. Moms are there because you can go running to them with a problem - dads and brothers and sisters and nans and granddads and aunts and uncles and cousins are there so you can go out and play and laugh and have fun. I was gonna say that my opinion on that was nothing to do with being adopted, but seriously, it's probably got a lot to do with it because I grew up in a loving, caring, nurturing adoptive family from when I was seven months old, instead of growing up with my abusive biological mom.
You're never gonna be able to 'win' 'cause adoption screws kids up one way or another, but you need to be able to learn to understand what your kid's going through. My aparents have had to watch as their kid goes through all of the agony and trauma that comes with being adopted. They have had absolutely no help in dealing with any of this - as all good parents do, they winged it.
It's testament to their brilliance that I'm even remotely sane (hush you lot at the back!:p) and a functioning member of society. Adoption screws kids up.
It's not a fact that the adoption mongers like seeing said in public, but it's true. Not every kid, obviously - some on here are happy to've been adopted, but a surprisingly high percentage of us grow up deeply screwed up. I was abandoned to adoption at seven months old. I honestly and truly wish that I'd been aborted instead of abandoned to adoption. I didn't have a bad adoption - my afamily are the best I could ever have chosen. But if I'd been able to choose, and I'd known then what I know now, I'd've chosen to be aborted before birth instead, 'cause at least that way the lifetime of agony I've gone through would've been over in minutes, instead of the decades that I've been suffering for now.
