Can you still adopt a child if you dropped out of high school and you want to raise the child being a single parent?

I think that this depends on the state you reside in. I can not see how dropping out of high school should affect this unless you are not a legal adult (in which case you wouldn't be able to adopt anyway). As long as you can raise a child in a safe environment I see no reason (single or married) that you can't adopt a child. Check with your city or state about their adoption laws.
