Do any of you have any idea what kind of income requirement agencies will use to approve your homestudy? I know that they state you simply have to earn enough to adequately support a child, but, actually with the cost of daycare that being single necessitates, that's not likely to be an area where you can cut back on expenses.
Are they looking for $40K, $50K, $60K, etc. I know of one single who adopted earning less, but, she does licensed daycare in her own home and has done so before she became a mom, so that's not an expense for her.
PS. I have a career in Human Resources that I'm happy with so I'm not looking for career counseling, just an idea of what income requirements there may be if any.

Hello;
Each state may be different? In California, as a Single Parent what they look at is can you pay your bills without the Adoption Subsidy regularly, and have money left over to adequately care for a Child?
By regularly also meaning that if the Foster/Adoption Subsidy is late could you still afford to eat and not sleep in your car.
I have Adopted 2 Daughters. I calculate my salary in Children's Services to be upper $20 to mid 30,000.
Adopting as a Single Parent is extremely very doable. You just have to give up things like the $40.00 haircut, or eating out a whole lot.
