Single parent adoptive homes
Adoptions by Single Parents
Adoptions by single parents are thought by the public and by adoption professionals to be a plan for children needing adoption which is less advantageous for the child than a two parent adoption.

Single persons who wish to parent an infant often adopt …

A Longitudinal Study of Black Adoptions
This longitudinal study of black children reared in single-parent transracial and traditional adoptive homes reveals that most children grow well in these homes. Interest at this reporting, when the children were 8 years old, is chiefly focused on the transracially adopted children because their pattern of racial identity development differs from that of children in black homes

Adoptive Applicants Who Withdrew
The applicant who is interested in adopting a black child, but who withdraws from contact with the agency, may be depriving a child of a needed home. There has been no opportunity to assess his capacity to be a parent. In order to learn more about the reasons given by adoptive applicants for withdrawal, 129 applicants for black children who had withdrawn from contact with the Chicago Child Care Society were telephoned and queried about their reas…
