Are single people allowed to adopt?

I am a single mom that was allowed to adopt two little boys so I would have to say yes to that.

Methods of becoming an adoptive parent vary from one country to another, Single people can adopt here in UK I see you are in the US Since adoption laws in the state where you live govern your options, it's essential that you know which types of placements are allowed in your state. If you pursue an adoption across state lines, you must comply with the laws in both states before the child can join your family. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have enacted legislation (called the Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children) that governs how children can be placed across state lines.
