The article linked says up to 36 couples are waiting to adopt per child available for adoption. It's from 2002, but the ratio of couples waiting per child available is probably pretty consistent. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_20050229/ai_mark05048327/

Is it difficult for a single person to adopt a baby?

It is difficult to be approved but it is possible. The difficulty comes in the ability to care for the child.
