I am a single adoptive mom. I was only 21 when my daughter was placed in my home as a foster placement. I adopted her in Nov. at only 23 years old and still unmarried. I thought it would be difficult, but it wasn't. When her bmom signed over her rights she said that I could provide her the stability that she could not. That was a major factor in her decision. It is more often that minority babies are placed w/ single moms, because couples want "a baby that looks like them" many times. All in all I think it comes down to love, stability, and values that are similar to bmom. My daughter is loved much more than many kids a w/ mom and dad.
