[quote=Anonymous]I adopted as a single man -- although I'm gay -- at 38. I'm also a teacher. I live in DC & went through the public adoption system (which has laws that enable both gay people and single people to adopt). I got a wonderful baby. He had 'scary' things in his system at birth, but he is now a healthy and normal 11 year old. No issues that are more than what 'normal' people get. I adopted because I hit a point when I wasn't sure that I'd ever find my 'one' life partner & I knew that I really wanted to be a parent. I do not regret the choice one bit. It is hard sometimes. I don't ever get nights off. I work harder than the other parents on my block. But this is what I wanted, this is what I signed up for, and I appreciate every minute of it. Even the many minutes that have made my hair turn grey. I love my son so much & hope that you have the chance to do the same. Best of luck.[/quote]
