I work full-time and we are adopting (would love to go part-time after we adopt if financially and logistically possibly). I plan on taking 2-3 months off work after the placement. There was one question on an adoption form that asked if we plan on using a daycare, but they never asked me directly if I'd be a SAHM. The expecting mom chooses couples based on many criteria - this is just one.

I did read that a couple states require one stay at home parent for foster adoption.
