important concept to keep in mind is determination. Whether you
work with a public agency, pursue an independent adoption or look to another

becoming a parent. A growing number of
public agencies acknowledge that a single adoptive parent may be the
"placement of choice" for some children. They can provide:
If
you have your heart set on finding an infant and find that a public or
private agency is not responsive to your needs or eager to work with you, there
are other adoption resources available. A number of foreign countries will
consider single adoptive parents. There are infants and young children available
for adoption. Many African government are now opening the idea to
accepting single adoptive parents with guidelines that must be met. |
