Should Singles adopt

Should Singles Adopt? Imagine being a single person with no capabilities of bearing a child. The single life eventually becomes boring, so you weigh the options and decide that you want to adopt a child. This will be a momentous moment in your life; you start shopping for the child’s new clothes, furniture, and prepare your home for this new addition. Now, imagine someone telling you that you should not be allowed to adopt just because of your relationship status. You underwent all of the same steps as a married couple would if they wanted to adopt, but your lack of a partner prohibits you from finally accomplishing your dream of having a child. This subject is widely debated in today’s society because of the amount of people that are now choosing to adopt children. Some people believe that singles should not be allowed to adopt because they do not have time as much time to dedicate to a child as a married couple, while others believe that singles are very capable of raising a child and that it may be easier for the child to just be raised by one parent. In the end, it is important to fully understand both sides of the argument in order to come to a solution that is beneficial for both parties, as well as the potential child. Single parents should not be capable of adoption, because they simply do not have enough resources. A two parent family will be able to devote plenty of time to a child, while single parents will not. Single parents have to work harder in order to provide for the family, because they do not have 2 incomes as a married couple will have. The child will have to spend a lot of time at daycare or at a babysitter’s house, and receive less attention than it would if one parent was at home at all times. Another reason why children should only be raised in a two parent household is because they need to be raised by both sexes. Little girls need a male influence in their lives to teach them how another male should treat them in
