Single male parent adoption, Good idea? Bad idea?

Forums > Community > Philosophy & Religion

Ok this question is not for a immediate help, but I believe this discussion can help a lot of people ^^

Ok so I'm a guy, got a good family (parents, brother, etc.), enough money and no desire for marriage but with a desire to be a father.

Is it a good idea for a single male man to adopt a child? Why?

If a single man wants to adopt a child and has the credentials he should be able to because men are fully capable of taking care and raising children.there are many people who only have fathers in their lives,they should just be ready to handle what comes with raising them

I say don't go into fatherhoof half-assed. Read up, learn everything you can, be prepared for anything and, just love the kid. If you feel like you have something to offer in bringing up a child- then do it.
I only wish you good luck. *thumbs up*

It would be an amazing amount of work, but if you were dedicated to it, then by all means, do your research and be the best father you can be.

I think it's a rather noble thing to do. As the parenthood goes you'll work your balls off, but it is possible.
Just make sure you're absolutely set before proceeding with the whole thing, considering that you alone will be the provider for a while,
better make sure you've got some sort of back up plan, some dosh put aside for times of need and fuck tons of diapers

Anyway, once you go ahead with it, I wish you good luck.

I think it's a good and unselfish thing to do. It's a damn shame there's such a huge stigma around single fathers. There's nobody less likely to be approved for adoption than a single man.

I think it is very possible for a single man to raise a child. However, any person, man or woman, who makes the decision to raise a child on their own MUST realize the responsibility and dedication it takes to be a parent. It is certainly not all fun and games. A child must constantly be supervised, fed, clothed, disciplined, and taught. It is like working a job 24 hours a day for 7 days a week without breaks. I'm not saying that children are horrible or anything. On the contrary most people love their children and would give up anything for them. I'm just saying you have to be READY to make that commitment, and once you make that decision there is no going back.
I wish you the best of luck

I don't really see how it is a religious or philosophical question really.

I originally posted in life help but, the management changed it ^^ and when the boss speaks I obey XD

*CouchyCreature Jun 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

how they work out this is a religious or philosophical question I can't figure.

I believe: a non-immediate ask for help can be consider a hypothetical situation, of witch answers will be based in points of view (those based on science or religion).

But thats just me XD
