I am a single female who is living with & "engaged" (but no date for the forseeable future) to my SO. I want to adopt and DF is not opposed to this, but not dying for it either. So I plan to adopt on my own, but how does the adoption/homestudy process work if just one partner is planning to adopt?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

If your SO is not supportive of your decision to adopt, then it might be a roadblock to approval. After all, if you plan to marry and spend your life together, any child would be a part of that family in the end. IMO (and that is all it is) it would be wise to wait until you and your SO could make the decision to adopt together. Adoption is a rough ride and you need all the support you can get, esp from the person most important in your life right now. Best of everything...
