The simple answer to your question is that when you become a parent (especially a single parent), life as you now know it will cease to exist.
This is true whether you adopt a baby or an older child - each has very distinct needs.
Before you go much further with this, spend a lot of time talking to lots of other parents, single and couples. Ask them what changes happened in their lives when they became parents.
Being a parent is infinitely more rewarding than I every could have imagined. It's also infinitely more difficult than I ever thought it could be.
Hope this helps!
