It is abuse, period, to knowingly and willingly raise a child without a father.

Hypothetical: A single woman adopts, from a Russian orphanage, a male 3-year-old confined to a wheelchair by spina bifida and raises him as her son.

That's abuse?

A single woman adopts...3-year-old confined to a wheelchair...

As you said, it's hypothetical, but even if it were factual, we don't know "the rest of the story". It may have been a blessing...or it may also have been a disaster. So much for lack of facts.

If she adopts with no intention of marrying and providing the child with a father, then yes, its abuse.

Single women should not be allowed to adopt and raise children on their own. Its unnatural.
