People seek to adopt for many reasons and as long as the Applicant is aged over 21 years and can provide a permanent stable home, there is no upper age limit.

It does not matter whether you are single, living with someone, married and/or in a same sex relationship, the stability of any relationship you are in is the only concern. The prospective adopter, plus all adult members of the household, will also need to undergo a police check.

As long as you will be able to meet the child’s needs through to an age that they could reasonably become independent, your financial status is also of little importance. The main criteria is that you will be able to provide a stable and loving home.
