Typically, any adult who shows the desire to be a fit parent may adopt a child. Depending on state law, both married and unmarried couples may adopt, and single people may adopt through a process called single-parent adoption. Some single individuals or couples may have a more difficult time qualifying as adoptive parents than others. For example, single men, gay singles, and homosexual couples may not specifically be prevented from adopting by state law, but they may have a more difficult time meeting state and agency requirements than married couples would.
