The descriptive research method was used and systemic sampling technique was employed in selecting the sample size made up of 160 couples. Well-structured questionnaire were used as instrument for data collection. From the review of literature, it was discovered that child adoption is a legal process which has the full backing of the
Nigeria law. It was also found out that child adoption provides succor to childless couples whose hope of having children of their own have been dashed by old age. From analysis of data and result of finding, it was noted that male spouses have negative attitudes towards child adoption practices.
