Are there any restrictions on the age and marital status of the adopting parents?
Yes, and they vary. For example, China requires the parents to be between the ages of 30 and 50, without history of cancer or serious illness, and single parent adoptions are restricted. Russia allows adoptions between the ages of 25 and 60; single women are permitted to adopt, but not single men. Single women, as well as single men, may adopt children from Guatemala and Brazil.
