Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: Hello, I am a single parent by choice and a hopeful adoptive parent. I've been working with an agency and waiting to be matched for a domestic infant adoption since this summer, and I haven't had much luck. I'm starting to wonder if expectant parents think single parents are not a good choice for their baby. In my profile book, I emphasize my financial stability and support of a network of family and friends, but is that enough? In your experience, do single parents have a harder time being matched? What are the things I should consider as a single parent when trying to match with an expectant parent?Resources:Adopting as a Single ParentUnderstanding the Birth Parent's ExperienceSelf-Care for Parents & CaregiversSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
