Lolzzzz....Special oh plzzz its not meeee plz ooo!!! Its someone that needed the info and asked me to find out for him, said he is tired of Naija ladies wahala of coming for...I tried convincing him against it, but he said I shud just get him the info in case, so I tot here shud be the best place to ask cos we seem to have experts here u know?

Why shud I wish to never marry when there r special people like

And plz how did u get to see this? Dnt tell me u frequent this section

Meanwhile, how was your val

In the first place why does this your friend want to adopt a child as a single man.am sure they will ask him there because taking care of an infant is not beans.it requires total attention,time,money,commitment and so on.then also to me it looks very suspicious because i find it strange for single men to say they want to adopt a child on the pretext that ladies have wahala,i dont really believe that excuse however hope its a boy he is adopting and not a girl,because we all know what some of you men do when eyes are not around you and you are left with a child of 3 or 4 years.then again is the man financially capable of raising the child from infancy to adulthood in terms of education and all and i also hope that if in case he adopts a girl and she grows into puberty,he would not start shinning the innocent girls congo because i still read of a shameless 45 year old man on nairaland that impregnated his 17 year old daughter,so i can now imagine a young girl living under the same roof with a man that is not her biological father.i am not going to pretend that this things dont happen,it is a daily occurence in this part of our world

Tell him that infertility is cureble,he shouldn't just conclude on the inability of fathering a child if that is his hidden reason.

As for the question how did i see this? I visit most sections as a visitor and log in only when i want to make a contribution/ comment. By the way dont forget i have a special interest in you .
Val, Val, Val.... Hmmmn that's a long story. I got gifts but i did not reciprocate any

WOW! So much info...thanks kulyie, sound really informative...jeez.

To answer your questions, he wants a boy, I wanted to mention it earlier but intentionally left it out for purposes u all ought to know though...

The guy is definitely financially capable, and he was also asking of how to hire a professional nanny (50yrs upwards according to him) to take care of the babies. He seem to want two, and he even confided in me that he saw one pretty boy he would have loved to adopt if it were possible, but the boy lives with his parents, 4yrs....

I understand your points, they are very valid, we cannot dispute those facts, and that I think was the reason he wanted to make it legal...you can see He isn't looking for any girl to molest, men that do that are often times very poor, wretched and can't afford to win or attract any woman, thats y most resort to molestation, so I don't think the guy in question would dare that when he has so so many ladies as option, just that his is marriage phobia as a result of experience, and he said he is afraid of divorce.

you won't understand dear brother...some men are now so afraid of marriage, or haven't you wondered why some men who are financially okay, healthy, etc not yet married? You think they are ritualists or impotent? Nope...really we have a problem in Nigeria when it comes to this relationship and marriage issues and if possible, it requires a national conference

issokay,if you say so,but is your friend thinking of long term consequence(s) as per when the boy starts getting into the age of knowing left from right,is he ready to answer the boy's question(s) of who the mother is and where she is.plus you know men are not as easy to raise as women.depending on his character,he can be the aggressive type and God helps that yur friend if the excuse he gives does not go down well with him and brings out knife one day threatning to kill your friend if he doesnt show him his mom.you know yorubas say if the house is sweet its because the bastard there has not grown.dont get me wrong o,am not saying the boy you intend adopting is a bastard,but i'll leave you with that proverb to ruminate on

Now, this is scary to be honest...I can clearly see lots of pot holes here and there...but does it mean a guy can't adopt outside marriage? what of those guys who pay ladies to have baby for them and go? I am wondering how they handled it though...but thanks a lot for the eye-openers...will sure make him see the dangers, though he just seem to love adoption...he loves babies as much as I do ....sometimes when I see a pretty baby of say- 3yrs, 4yrs, 6yrs, I feel like staying with them, they are so innocent, cute, lively and I love their stubbornness to an extent....lovely creatures

Thanks Kulyie

well its not just about loving and admiring kids.you have to also think of the long term outcomes or consequences of your action.if you think you have answers to all the questions i posed there for you and you can handle all the dramas that comes with answering the boy and still makimg him feel loved and accepted even after he has known the truth,all well and good.parenthood is far more than just what you think it is.then are you sure you are capable of raising the boy in such a way that he will still love and honour you and treat you like his biological father after he has known the truth,hope you can handlethe relationship.plus you know when men know this man is not their biological father,they tend to misbehave,you cant even correct them,they will remind you that you are not their father.dont get me wrong o!am not discouraging adoption,but think well and pray about it,(your friend i mean)

THIS GUY HAS OVERSEEN AMERICAN MOVIES....

I remember looking up the rules sometime ago. Pointers below:

As a single person, you must be at least 21 years older than the child you want to adopt; and you can't adopt a child of the opposite sex. You'll have to google to find the rest.

l see nothing wrong adopting a child by a single guy..though it's have a lot of unseen chalenges lie ahead..

chikeorji123: l see nothing wrong adopting a child by a single guy..though it's have a lot of unseen chalenges lie ahead..

yeah, its really challenging raising a child alone as a single guy...
