On Mondays, I answer questions frequently asked by those considering a return to the Catholic Church. How do I know this stuff? I was away for more than 30 years myself, and am the co-author of When They Come Home: Ways to Welcome Returning Catholics, a book for pastors and parish leaders interested in this ministry.
I’m single and intend on staying that way. Can I adopt a child and still come back to the Catholic Church?
Yes, single people who are dedicated to raising a child in a positive, Catholic family environment may pursue adoption.
