First post, I'll try to be clear.
I'm a 32 year old professional male who has a nice home and a lot of love to give; mostly to a dog, hedgehog and two birds. I spent several years looking into finding Ms. Right, but have decided my family oriented goals are more important at this time.
I'd like to know if anyone has any advice to give, especially from successful single fathers in Florida. If out-of-state adoption is a better option, as I know Florida looks at single fathers in a bad way, please give advice on where to start. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I am a single mom of a 3 1/2 year old daughter. I too know how it is not to have found your mate. I also decided family came first...If you want to chat sometime I would love to be able to help you out anyway that I can. I know the longing there is to have a child.. ;)

Your daughter is beautiful. I am currently pursuing adoption and it was nice to see someone single that has adopted. I still have moments when I wonder is this really going to happen. Your post was the positive message I needed. To Jimftlaud hang in there. I got a lot of my information from the internet and the homelife program at my job. Single parent adoption is increasing and many agencies are realizing that families are made up of love in different forms not just the proverbial husband, wife and children. Good luck and keep us posted with your progress.

Most definitely you can be a Dad. I'm a single adoptive father of a 12 year old son who has been with me now for five years. The process can be a bit trying but well worth it. There are challenges,but worth it. I'm even active duty military, so I know the gories and the glories of single adoptive parenthood; wouldn't change a thing after five years. As a matter of fact, working on adopting #2. Go for it!
