Is it morally alright for a single male to adopt children? No, I'm not talking about gαys , just someone who does not feel called to the married state but want the joys of parenthood by himself for himself and for care in old age..

That's an interesting question. On the one hand, children should be raised by a mother and father; on the other, being raised by a single Catholic father is far, far preferable to being "raised" by an agency. On the whole I don't see why it wouldn't be morally alright.

Practically speaking I think it's moot, I don't think the adoption agencies would accept it, though I could be wrong.

I don't know that the question was ever answered by moralists. However, if it were to prevent an evil, like children being adopted by evil men, heretics, or infidels-- it probably would be a good work. I would think though that the adoptive father would have some obligation to provide a motherly figure for the children. Maybe in the form of teaching nuns, a grandmother, or an aunt.
