If i raise an adopted child,would i be a single mother?

@bowman81 I'm not sure I agree there is no difference between being raised by one parent or two. We could argue advantages, but they are very different,

@EmilyEdith I'm not saying there are not advantages and disadvantages....I am saying you are a parent and that is paramount. Being single or with a partner is not a badge of distinction. The emphasis should be on the child, not the status or category of the parent.

@bowman81 thank you for clarifying. I agree 100%. There is no model, and it's definitely about the children, not the title.

@CharlieZ that's just amazing. I was wondering weather I would even be allowed to adopt a child without having a partner.

@Ishtar You are right. They do not allow it easily.
But was an unusual situation and the judge was aware of that.
She, my adopted girl, was already a college coed and best friend of one of my other daughters.
At 15 years old, she lost all her family in a car accident.
And become one of us.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic thank you. And I'm sorry I jumped down your throat. As an adoptive mom I receive a lot of criticism for it. And it has left me sensitive. I apologize.

@SW-User Adoption is fucking awesome, why would anyone criticize you for that? You're giving some lucky kid a better life. The problem is that not many would do it because they'd prefer their own, which is something encoded in our genes.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic so many reasons. Lol. To any to get into online. But thanks for the encouragement. ;)

@SW-User how so? Do you mean to tell me Britain does not consider adopted children actual children of their parents? How would she not be a parent.

@SW-User no she would be a single parent. The issues with UK legal stuff is things like I have a friend who is married. His wife is absent and has bfir months but he can't locate her. He can't yet claim as a single parent until divorce us settled... Which is difficult as she is absent.
