Most want the child to have two parents. Unmarried people are two individuals and adopting would be weird like if two siblings wanted to adopt a child together. A child becomes legally your child even if you divorce or die. They can collect on the the social security survivors benefits or child support.
No. In the US, before an adoption can occur, both the mother and father must relinquish their parental rights, whether or not they are married to each other. If one parent wants to relinquish the child, the other has the legal right to request custody of the child.
Are there marriage requirements to adopt? While a few states require that married adoptive couples have been married for 2 to 3 years, most states place no restrictions on non-married people or couples from adopting a child.
The court may allow a stepparent adoption to go forward without getting the other parents written consent if: The other parent has died. The other parent signs a waiver saying they do not want to be involved with the adoption.
Single Parent Adoption Requirements Adoption for single mothers, fathers, and non-binary parents comes with the same requirements as adoption for any other family type. To legally be able to adopt, prospective parents need to be of minimum legal age and must complete an adoption home study by a licensed social worker.

Yes -- a stepparent can legally adopt their stepchild after marrying their partner, but they will need the consent of the childs other biological parent to do so; in most cases, this means the non-custodial parent must relinquish their parental rights for the adoption to be finalized.
