Can I adopt or foster if I do not have a partner?
Adopting or fostering if you do not have a partner
Yes. Although many children need two-parent families, equally there are those who would benefit from the one-to-one attention that a single carer can provide.
As with all people who apply to foster or adopt, your agency will ask you about your support network; the friends, family and neighbours who you would rely on for support when bringing up your child.
