Im not male, and Im not single...and Im not from VA. But just thought I'd say good luck. Being male or being single or both would not prevent you from being approved. They will want to know about your support and network, so having close family that support you will be great. I would suggest having those family members cleared, so you can have at least small breaks. We fostered (and adopted) older children (elementary school age) b/c we both work and have had 2 of 3 positive placements.
Good luck in your journey, this is a great place for information and venting. I don't know of any single males from VA, but Indy and Mike over in the special needs forums are both adoptive single males. Indy has adopted 10 children, so any questions you may have, you may want to seek them out!
