Women are most commonly affected by Fibromyalgia.
No, just the opposite. Fibromyalgia, according to current medical knowledge, affects significantly more women than men. Estimates range from about twice as many women as men, to ten times as many women as men (who suffer from fibromyalgia).
Fibromyalgia is most common in women in their 20s and 30s, often with Type-A personalities who were constantly on the go.
There are a variety of reasons that women are more commonly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia than men. One possible reason is that women are more likely to admit to pain and to visit the doctor.
You are still allowed to adopt because maybe your ready to. Said a ten year old girl. :)
18 and older
Minors are not allowed to adopt.
Assuming you mean children, the answer is no. Only married couples (homosexuals are not allowed to marry) or singles can adopt children.
As many men and women already understand, there are many different children who are not adopted each year. Around eighty thousand children are not adopted each year. More children would be adopted if homosexual men and women were allowed to adopt children. However, there are still men and women who do not believe that couples who enjoy the company of the same sex should be allowed to adopt a child. There is still hope for homosexual men and women who wish to adopt a child. There are many states that allow same sex couples to adopt a child. In addition, there are gray adoption areas in other states. States That Allow Gay Couples and Lesbian Couples to Adopt There are many states that allow lesbian couples and gay couples the chance to adopt. The following states offer homosexual men and women the chance to adopt children: Wisconsin Vermont Rhode Island Ohio New York New Mexico New Jersey Massachusetts The District of Columbia California Although Rhode Island offers gay couples and lesbian couples the chance to adopt a child, there is one catch. Men and women who are homosexual cannot adopt a child unless that couple is married. Although this is a bad catch, the state of Rhode Island does recognize gay marriage in a different state. States That Ban Gay Adoption Entirely Currently the only state in the United States of American that bans gay adoption entirely is the state of Florida. In 1977, a law was passed that stated all gay men and lesbian women are not allowed to adopt a child. Even if that man or woman is single, he or she cannot adopt a child if he or she is homosexual. However, gay men and lesbian women are allowed to become foster parents for a short time. New Hampshire had a similar law. However, in 1999, that law was repealed by the state legislature. Gay Adoption is allowed in Other States Although Florida does not allow same sex marriage, some states have gray areas. For example, there are states in the United States of American that allow single adults to adopt a child. This is regardless of his or her sexual orientation. Married couples can also adopt a child regardless of sexual orientation in other states. Some states still stop men and women from adopting if they are homosexual. For example, unmarried couples may not be allowed to adopt. That state may not recognize homosexual marriage.
Although I must point out it is in predominantly in women and girls, Fibromyalgia can occur at any age
