Adopting as a single lesbian woman

I really want to adopt, I can’t have a baby naturally (I would give anything to be able to) but I’m really worried about some aspects. I’m 28 and it feels like the right time is near, I’ve kinda put a time line of about 5 years on it. But don’t want to hurry it along.

Just a couple of things I’m worried about, I still enjoy going out on sensible nights out, when I was at Uni I went out probably twice a semester and that’s carried on. So we are talking 6-8 nights out a year, but obviously this is going to be hard being a single “mum” (really struggling to get my head around the term mum, mums give birth and won’t be giving birth)

Additionally I want have my parents or sister and brother in law to support us, as they live in different cities about 150 miles away.

I’m just basically worried about being a parent and it becomes all consuming, yes I know it becomes the most important aspect of my life. But I’ve seen friends who are married and have babies and they manage to continue their social lives with a few minor tweaks. But obviously I’m not going to have a partner to support or for me to support.

Some might say wait until you find a partner but to be honest I’m not a relationship type of person.
