Yusen - I agree with you that single parents, male or female, should be able to adopt children just as "easily" as traditional couples. Not everyone takes this position. As for single males having the most difficultly getting approved for adoption, it seems that many people have stereotyped them into sexual predators, and/or automatically assume they are gay and are against gays/lesbians adopting children. [I'm not trying to start a pro/anti gay/lesbian/single parent discussion here.]
I have a single male friend (also my daughter's kindergarten teacher) who is interested in adoption. He talked to me about this even before I was matched with children, and I talked to him again a few days ago after reading this thread. He would still like to adopt, but knows and dreads the hurdles he faces.
