Single Parent Adoption & Foster Care

One Person Can Make a Lifetime of Difference

Your home could be ideal for a child in foster care or a child waiting for a loving, permanent adoptive home. If you have patience, flexibility, commitment, and deep love to provide for a child, adoption and foster care could open your mind and heart in ways you may never have imagined.

Fostering as a Single Parent

You can be the support children or youth need in moments of transition.

We can educate, license and prepare single Minnesotans to be a resource for many types of foster care. The various foster care options allow you to decide whether you are interested in supporting a child in foster care for a shorter period of time or more long term as the county works to reunify the child with family or find a permanency option.

We have paired hundreds of children with caring, single parents. There are opportunities for single men and women to adopt through our domestic and international programs.

Domestic Adoption options include both Infant/Private Adoption and Adoption from Minnesota Foster Care.

International Adoption options include Children’s Home’s country programs: Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador and India. If you reside in Minnesota, we can also help you with your education, home study and post placement process if you choose to work with another agency’s country program.
