I agree with some of those who said that this varies greatly from place to place. One thing I haven't heard mentioned is that some agencies have rules that may be problematic for single parents. For ex: in Maine there are several agencies each with their own guidelines and style. One agency requires that at least one parent be a home parent, not working. For single parents this is generally impossible. Other agencies are more flexible. Be sure you check the requirements and attitudes of your prospective agencies regarding single parents etc.
Good luck!
