I have not heard of a single man adopting from Poland, however there are some single women, but the wait is much longer for them than for married people, I imagine if accepted it would be even longer for a man. Also some agencies will not work with single men. I would choose an agency and a country before beginning the homestudy just because some countries have slightly diferent requirements, and different things need to be highlighted for different countries. For example being Catholic and very religous would be a plus and something to be highlighted for a polish adoption, but religion is unimportant for a Chinese adoption and it might even be best not to make a big point about it. Right now some agencies are not taking new applications for Guatamala, and some countries are changing rules this year. I know China just got harder for singles this past year and Vietnam is picky about you living in the same state as your agency.
So find an agency and country first. Some agencies if they are near you will not allow you to have someone else do your homestudy, they want it done by thier people so you would end up paying twice. I do know of single men adopting from the US foster care system. There are I think three who post regularly on the special needs boards, one has adopted ten sons. (not all at once, LOL) Good luck.
