Another single dad
Another single father here, who is straight. That is so funny to preface my post with a statement like that. To be honest with you, I was surprised about the remark "...I have actually found that most of the guys both in real life and online who are really involved in the process are part of a 2 Dad family..." My first son came to me 10 years ago this month and I have yet to meet a "2 dad" family. Ok, I live in a conservative midwestern city.
My experience has been very good. I have never had a worker ask about a partner (male or female) or act surprised when I said I was single. I have adopted from 4 different states, from the real conservative (IN) to the more progressive (WA). Never have I run into some of the situations mentioned in this post.
As far as posting online, I would agree that you will find more women posting. Typically, you won't find men online talking about adoption. I post here, as it is the only place I have found where people understand what I am dealing with.
