Welcome to Adoption Home Studies of Colorado (AHSCO) Single Parent Adoption page!
As a single adoptive parent myself, I extend a personal invitation to you. I understand the journey you're considering because I've walked that path too: not once, not twice, but three times. When I embarked on my first adoption societal norms and laws clouded my options and impeded my progress toward building a family through adoption. At the time, single parent adoption was in its toddlerhood, and single adoptive parents were few and far in between compared to today, and many agencies and countries didn’t allow adoption by single women, much less single men. If they did, they often didn’t treat us as equal to married heterosexual couples, and much more stringent criteria was imposed on single applicants. But I delved into research, pushed against skeptics, and pursued my dream relentlessly. Fifteen months after applying to adopt abroad, I cradled my 10-month-old daughter in my arms—an experience that transformed our lives profoundly.
Though the opportunities for single people to adopt have, thankfully, evolved since then, my commitment to helping singles navigate this rewarding path remains steadfast. Over the years, I've witnessed countless men and women fulfill their dreams of parenthood through adoption, while also proudly helping as many children find their forever home with single moms and single dads.
My first adoption and the impact it made on my soul led me to leave behind a corporate career for a fulfilling role in adoption and child welfare, including starting this agency in 2007 with a goal to warmly welcome single applicants and help them on their journey to their child. My family is now comprised of three children who joined me through international adoption, two teens from Colombia, brought into our lives through the Colombian hosting and adoption program.
I believe that what truly matters is not the structure of a family but the love and care it provides. Advocates for adoption by single women and men emphasize that it's not about marital status but about character, strength, resources, adaptability, and the capacity to love unconditionally. Every child deserves a home filled with love and acceptance, and single adoptive parents are more than capable of providing just that.
Once you take that leap of faith to change your life through adoption, you'll find unwavering support and advocacy at Adoption Home Studies of Colorado every step of the way. I'm here to share my experiences, to listen, and to guide you through this transformative journey. Don't hesitate to reach out—I'm eager to connect and support you on your path to parenthood.
