My answer would be No, but a single person can adopt with no problem. The married couple is looked at as one, and both have to agree. * No, fortunately. There is no court in the land that would allow an adoption under such circumstances. The idea of a child being placed in a home where only one of the individuals was agreeable to the idea is counterproductive to the entire purpose of adoption.
