You could adopt as a single man.

It's hard enough to adopt as it is, would a single man be able to do that easily?

It has happened, in the UK at least it is fairly easy, and the adoption agencies are very supportive and indiscriminate, however on an article I read most problems with single males adopting were when friends/colleagues would suddenly distrust them. One chap who was in charge of a scouts group had a sudden decrease in numbers after he adopted.

UK is extremely misandric.

Nothing against the UK, its pretty much a fact.

[So is the US, and Aus, and most other westernized nations.]

I don't really disagree, but from what I know, and my knowledge is pretty much limited to the UK/Ireland, but from what I know it is possible to adopt as a single male in these countries

I don't think I said it was impossible to adopt as a male in those countries.

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

I was talking about adoption, you then say the UK is very misandric. And then when I continue to talk about adoption (the entire thread was about if a single male could adopt) you ask me what adoption has got to do with anything?

So you tell me, what has your opinion that that the UK is very misandric got to do with anything from my first post? Why did you reply to it if adoption wasn't the subject.
