Choosing a Florida Single Woman to Adopt Your Baby

By Erin Jones

There comes a point in every birth mother’s adoption journey where she must choose an adoptive family for her child. It’s worth emphasizing that this decision is never an easy one for her! In fact, choosing an adoptive family is one of the most difficult steps for birth mothers going through adoption in Florida. This is because, in a way, it makes the adoption process feel more real. Additionally, most birth mothers who choose to place a child for adoption already have an idea in their head of the perfect adoptive family for their child.

The fact of the matter is, there are so many other types of adoptive family out there to choose from! Not that choosing a married couple to adopt your child is a bad thing, — it’s not at all! — but it’s vital  for you to be aware of all of your options. For example, have you ever considered choosing a single woman to adopt your child? Choosing a single adoptive parent might seem like a risky decision, but the truth is, it isn’t as intimidating of a decision as you may think it is. Below, Adoption Choices of Florida discusses three reasons why you should consider choosing a single woman to adopt your child because, regardless of how society portrays them, single mothers are truly incredible!

 3 Reasons You Should Choose a Single Woman to Adopt Your Baby

Single Mothers and Women are Far More Capable than Society Gives Them Credit for

Society rarely gives single mothers and single women the amount of credit they deserve — they’re far more capable than most people think, especially when it comes to raising a child alone. As you’re reviewing potential adoptive families for your child, don’t skip past single women hoping to adopt. Think about it — adoption agencies and team of professionals wouldn’t include single women on your list of potential adoptive families if they weren’t confident these women weren’t ready to embrace single parenthood! Remember, every potential adoptive family goes through thorough home studies and extensive background checks with social workers and adoption professionals to ensure that they’re absolutely ready to love, care for, and support your child to the fullest!   

Single Women Hoping to Adopt are Truly Ready to Become Mothers

Again, when you are considering potential adoptive families for your child, do not be surprised if you come across a single woman hoping to start a family through adoption. Single women looking to adopt alone are often more ready than any other type of potential adoptive parent to start a family. Remember, it’s no secret that single parenthood isn’t easy! So, it’s safe to say that single women hoping to adopt and become single parents have considered the challenges of single parenthood, are prepared to embrace those challenges, and are truly ready to start a family!   

Single Women Deserve the Chance to Start a Loving Family

Single women hoping to become mothers through the miracle of adoption deserve all the same opportunities to start a family as couples and families hoping to adopt. And again, single women and single mothers are much more capable of raising a child on their own than most people realize. Throughout history and still today, single women raising children on their own are often the most successful, responsible, and loving of parents! No person should be deprived of the privilege of parenthood and the joys that come along with it just because of their single status!  

Don’t Hesitate!

Again, choosing a single woman to adopt your child may feel like a nerve-wracking decision, but trust in the available adoption agencies and teams. Your team of professionals wouldn’t include single women on your list of potential adoptive families if they didn’t think these women were ready to embrace parenthood. Also, be mindful of the fact that families come in all shapes and sizes —  family isn’t any less of a family simply because there is only one parent. What truly matters is the ability of an adoptive parent to love, care for, and support your child no matter what. And for you, if that means choosing a single woman to raise your child, then it sounds like you’ve found the perfect adoptive family for your child!
