Adoption is a beautiful, self-giving act. I would think that everyone would agree that a two-parent family is ideal as long as the parents are not abusive to children or one another. But this world is not ideal and there are many children waiting to be welcomed into a loving home by one or two parents.
I work with foster children and children waiting to be adopted. These children long to be loved. Due to my experiences, I have the opinion that anyone who would deny a child a loving home, even if it is a single-parent home, is overlooking the fact that some children will never find loving homes unless people step up and start adopting. Thus, it is very sad to hear that some priests think it's a bad idea.
So bravo to you for listening to the Holy Spirt and looking into adoption! We are all God's children and God wants his children to be loved by others. Good luck with finding a child to love!
