I have several friends waiting for newborns for years and years and they're under 40 and married and financially stable. It's exceedingly difficult to adopt a healthy newborn in this country.

As it should be.

So what, that can happen single or married.

Yes, but it seemed quite a selfish choice because she had no family to take care of the kid after she was gone.
