Raise red flags? I certainly know that there are some sick people out there, but why should that small percent of men prevent a good man who wishes to raise a daughter from doing so? I completely agree with thourough checks. not only on single men, but everyone who wishes to adopt. Singling out a specific group of hopeful adoptive parents for extra scruitiny that is well beyond what the others get is just plain wrong. I'd like to see everyone scruitinized at that level.
As a single man who will one day adopt, I cannot help but be worried that if I state my wish for a Daughter it will be greeted by raised eyebrows and red flags. It is a sad situation when a good man such as myself and the other men who have posted here are looked upon immediatly as bad people simply because our preference is to raise daughters. Most of us, I would imagine are open to sons as well, but do resent the implications that are made, directly or indirectly when we say we'd really rather have daughters. Are single women wanting sons treated with such scrutiny?
