Single Moms....

When I placed my daughter 31 years ago single motherhood was not veiwed as a positive thing and no, I would not have considered it had her adoption been open. Then, men were often the primary bread-winners in the home. Today things are much different. Women own companies, are elected to public office, purchase their own homes, businesses etc. and are very capable of supporting a child with their own. Todays woman doesn't have marriage as her #1 agenda; she can elect to raise a family without doing so. Not only are women in this powerful posistion, but so are single men. Having said that I would not object to an unmarried person adopting. We have evolved and the scene has changed.....Best Wishes.....Missy
