Search the Site: news community diaries shop Single Parent Adoption What You Need to Know A National Adoption Information Clearinghouse Fact Sheet In 1970, if you had gone to an adoption agency as a single person and applied for a child, you would have, unfortunately, been turned down – it just wasn't done. In fact, in some states, there were laws against single parent adoption. Now, thousands of children in the United States and other countries are living with single men and women who have chosen to become parents and who have been given the opportunity to provide a loving, permanent home for a child. In the last 20 years there has been a steady, sizable increase in the number of single parent adoptions – some people feel that it is the fastest growing trend in the adoption field. Approximately 25 percent of the adoptions of children with special needs are by single men and women, and it is estimated that about 5 percent of all other adoptions are by single people. The outlook for single parent adoption is encouraging as it becomes more widely accepted. In this fact sheet, we will look at the reasons for the growing acceptance of single parent adoption and discuss some of the questions that you, as a prospective adoptive parent, may ask as you begin the adoption process. We will explore, too, some of the issues facing a single adoptive parent and learn about the available resources to guide you in this exciting new venture.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Family and Consumer Sciences 1787 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210 Growing Up In Single Parent Families HYG-5291-95 Barbara J. Wurzel Single parents and their children constitute a rapidly increasing population. Much of the initial research on single parent families focused on single mothers due to the father's absence. More recently, single fathers, unwed teenage mothers, other single parents and the adjustment processes of single parents and their children have received more attention. Although the common assumption from early research was that single-parent households are a pathological family form, these units today provide a viable alternative to the nuclear families. Yet, social development, in a traditional sense, has not prepared either males or females to be single parents. Single mothers and fathers need to establish strong support networks, personal friendships, and new social networks, and work on improving their self-esteem. Many single parents learn to live on reduced incomes, find acceptable ways to deal with a non-custodial parent, and redefine their relationships with their children. Single parents report differences in parent-child interactions in their new family structure. They see themselves as more respectful and more able to encourage individual opinions from their children. They find themselves utilizing reason and threats, but not following through with physical punishment. Although they are more likely to report feeling angry toward their children, single parents more often take the children's preferences into account.

We love each other and that makes a family." Adoptive father Ken Regan Adopting On Your Own (advertisement) (CBS) It used to be that when a man or woman reached a certain age and they weren't married, they accepted that they wouldn't have children. But, says correspondent Melinda Murphy in this second part of The Early Show series, "Exploring Adoption," that's changing. Today, more and more singles are adopting by themselves and not just women. Murphy got the inside story from a number of single adoptive parents, including Ken Regan, a principal for 25 years who had worked with children for most of his life, but had never had one of his own. "I decided that it's time to focus in and have one on my own. To have a child and be a full part of a child's life, not just the school hours of nine and four. I wanted to be part of a child. And I wanted a child to be part of me." So, Ken adopted, by himself. And now, at the end of each workday, he leaves his school and goes to another to meet his son, Michael.

115. Jacqueline Kirby, MS In 1970, the number of singleparent families with children under the age of 18 Successful single parent families have adopted more adaptive functioning http://www.hec.ohio-state.edu/famlife/bulletin/volume.1/bullart1.htm

Single-parent Families in Poverty Jacqueline Kirby, M.S. The Ohio State University One of the most striking changes in family structure over the last twenty years has been the increase in single-parent families. In 1970, the number of single-parent families with children under the age of 18 was 3.8 million. By 1990, the number had more than doubled to 9.7 million. For the first time in history, children are more likely to reside in a single-parent family for reasons other than the death of a parent. One in four children are born to an unmarried mother, many of whom are teenagers. Another 40 percent of children under 18 will experience parental breakup. Effects on Children Past research has indicated that children from single-parent families are more likely to experience less healthy lives, on the average, than children from intact families. For instance, children growing up with only one parent are more likely to drop out of school, bear children out of wedlock, and have trouble keeping jobs as young adults. Other consequences include risks to psychological development, social behavior, and sex-role identification. However, recent reviews criticize the methodology of many of these studies which support the "deviant" model of single-family structures. Confounding variables, such as income and social class, explain a large portion of the negative findings. When income is considered, substantially fewer differences arise between the intellectual development, academic achievement, and behavior of children in single-parent and two-parent families. Lack of income has been identified as the single most important factor in accounting for the differences in children from various family forms (Casion, 1982; Lindblad-Goldberg, 1989; Amato & Keith, 1991).

116. Cornell News: Single Parents And Children single parenthood, in and of itself, is not necessarily a risk factor for how well 12 and 13-year-olds do in school or how well they behave, according to a http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/May04/single.parents.ssl.html

On Mother's Day, a hopeful finding for single mothers and their children from a Cornell researcher FOR RELEASE May 6, 2004 Contact: Susan S. Lang Office: 607-255-3613 E-Mail: SSL4@cornell.edu ITHACA, N.Y. Mothers can be a positive influence in their children's lives, whether or not they are single parents. A new multiethnic study at Cornell University has found that being a single parent does not appear to have a negative effect on the behavior or educational performance of a mother's 12- and 13-year-old children. What mattered most in this study, Cornell researcher Henry Ricciuti says, is a mother's education and ability level and, to a lesser extent, family income and quality of the home environment. He found consistent links between these maternal attributes and a child's school performance and behavior, whether the family was white, black or Hispanic. "Over all, we find little or no evidence of systematic negative effects of single parenthood on children, regardless of how long they have lived with a single parent during the previous six years," says Ricciuti, who is professor emeritus of human development in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell. "The findings suggest that in the presence of favorable maternal characteristics, such as education and positive child expectations, along with social resources supportive of parenting, single parenthood in and of itself need not to be a risk factor for a child's performance in mathematics, reading or vocabulary or for behavior problems," Ricciuti says.
