Family disapproves of adopting while single
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
I’m a single, indepen
dent woman in my late
20s. For various reasons,
I’m pretty sure marriage
is not in my future, and I
feel happy the way I am.
Therein lies the rub.
I want to be a mom one
day. I’ve always thought I
should adopt, regardless
of marital status, so the
“how” is mostly figured out.
My family, though supportive of my
single life, is very unsupportive of my
becoming a single mom. Some of their
reasons are reasonable — it’s difficult
to raise children alone, it might have
negative consequences for my career,
harder to get an adoption solo — oth
ers less so (what if the baby I adopt
is a serial killer?). When I argue that
plenty of people, even in our family,
make it as single parents with less
financial stability than I have, they
say those people are just making the
best of a bad situation. It would be way
better for the child to have a dad, not
need so much time in child care, etc. I
feel like they’re saying I’m being self
ish for bringing a kid into this life on
purpose.
Am I trying to have my cake and
eat it, too?
— Wannabe Mom, Not Wannabe
Wife
Well sure, it would be better for
your would-be child to have a second
parent.
And better for you to raise a child
with the help of a co-parent.
It would also be better for kids with
one terrible parent to be raised solo by
the other.
And kids with two terrible parents
to be raised by lov
ing other relative(s),
friend(s) or foster(s).
And kids in sketchy
day care to spend more
time at home.
And kids in sketchy
homes to spend more
time in day care.
And better for a par
ent to fly solo when the
co-parent turns out to be
high-conflict or a no-show.
And better for your career not to
have kids.
And better for your career to
have the sharpening effect kids
have on priorities, perspective and
time-management.
And better for a child to
have healthy bonds versus pat
demographics.
And so what I wonder is how your
family can be so confident their idea
of the right way to raise a child will
actually turn out right for the child
you would have adopted but didn’t
because they managed to talk you out
of it?
In a way, I admire their certainty.
Wait. No I don’t.
But it is useful if you co-opt it wisely:
Give a good think to every disaster
scenario they push. Even the serial
killer one — not seriously, but seri
ously — since all would-be parents,
biological and adoptive, face the pos
sibility their kids’ path will take them
through hospitals, psych wards, court
houses, or physical/occupational/
social/educational/etc. therapies as
far as their iCals can see.
“Statistically unlikely” does not
equal “will not happen.”
Use their pessimism to inform your
decision.
I’m going to gussy up that last part:
your decision. When duly informed,
then decide. Scrutinized choices
withstand family disapproval better
anyway.
Until you decide, respond to unsup
portive remarks with, “Something to
consider, thanks.” Afterward: “I’ve
made up my mind, thanks.” No further
discussion.
The part about adoption being more
difficult for singles? Yes. But that’s
between you and any agency you use,
period. Start that research now.

Opening lead: Seven of O
North-South did well to avoid
three no trump, which would have
had no chance after a heart lead.
South’s reluctance to bid three no
trump with just one heart stopper led
to this excellent contract in a 4-3 fit.
The opening heart lead went to
East’s jack and South saw that he

could win the ace of hearts, ruff a
heart, and draw trumps. This would
work well if the trumps split 3-3,
but what if West had four trumps
and a doubleton diamond? South
couldn’t draw all the trumps before
knocking out the ace of diamonds or
they would run the whole heart suit
on him.
South could probably succeed
by drawing exactly three rounds of
trumps and then leading diamonds,
but he found an elegant solution
by allowing East’s jack of hearts to
hold the first trick. East shifted to a
trump, but South won this in hand
with the 10 and ruffed his little heart
with dummy’s queen of spades. He
overtook the king of spades with
the ace and drew all of the trumps,
discarding two clubs from the table.
T his left him with no trumps but that
was OK because he still held the ace
of hearts.
He led a diamond, and East
was forced to win and exit with
a diamond to prevent an overtrick.
Nicely played!
