I think it will be better to if he had a wife
yes you can at a orphanage.
Most likely all though if the child is over the age of 14 it would be extremely dificult or impossible
you become a child's legal guardian in cases for example if the parents can't look after their child for any reason they have appointed you! (1) if the child's parents have died and they have left in their will that you will be the child's legal guardian (you have to approve this ) you could also be the child's emergency guardian until the will is read out this can change if you have started for example you have started having health matters since the will has been drawn up then this could come into question the child's welfare is very important . (2) when you want to adopt the child that's been in your care you will need to go throught the right channels what is considered is how you and the child get on are you giving the child the right upbringing remember the child's welfare always comes first you will stand a good chance seen as the child knows you and they will have come to love you like you were their own parent/s it would be very difficult to deny you from adopting any child that's legally in your care unless there are underlying issues in the household i am not a judge in a court you would be asked why you want to adopt the child and if for example if you don't already have children when you do have them how will that effect the child you want to adopt IE would you still love and care for this child as much as your own. a judge isn't always easy going but these issues do arise also if you are a single person and you suddenly meet a man/woman what affect would that have on the child would the child still come first? everything comes into question i am not questioning your abilities as a parent or legal guardian but you would have to prepare yourself for some questions like this hope this has answered your question
If you were an active partner in the home when the child was adopted then of course you need to pay child support. Stop looking for loop holes. Your signature on an adoption is just as much a lifetime commitment to care for that child as is the act of procreating with your wife. Be a man and pay up. It is after all CHILD SUPPORT. They need you.

It's complicated, if a man was the presumed father - in other words if the man met all criteria of a father and was viewed as the child's father, then yes it would be possible for him to retain status of the legal father to the child and possibly have sole legal custody. If the child has two biological parents who have always been the acting / legal parents to the child, there would have to be extreme circumstances for the courts to terminate the parental rights to make the child eligible for adoption. If the man is wishing to adopt a child, yes single men are legally able to adopt.
The father would need to legally give up his rights to the child or the court would have to take them away in order for the new husband to adopt the child.
Her dad finally decided to adopt the homeless puppy. His sister wanted to adopt an orphaned child. They weren't going to adopt the man's excuse.
tell him you should adopt a child in need like an orphan
of course there is, he can adopt a child
You can't adopt an adult. And his child is not an orphan, so you can't adopt him either. You can marry the man and then adopt his son.
Of course not are you crazy you always have to have a wife with you
You negotiate with the father. He has to give written permission for adoption. He is not required under any circumstances at all to let anybody else adopt his child.
Unless the mom had drug or alcohol problems probably not, but the child could still go to the father;)
It really isn't necessary. It's usually when a man marries a woman with a child that he may want to give the child HIS last name. If there is no mother in the picture then by all means seek legal counsel and adopt the child, but I think it's a waste of money. The child will know you as their mother no matter what.
The answer for each man that wants to adopt or has considered adoption will be as unique as that man. (were not all the same) I joined the Air Force when I was 20 years old and have changed countries every 2 years since then. Not a whole lot of time to establish a relationship and get a marriage going. I am 28 now and in another 10 years the chances of having a child wont be great. In another 15-20 years why shouldn't I consider adopting a child. I have dreamed of being a father my whole life. Who are you to stop me from expressing and giving my love to a child that needs a home?
