Would really like to date a single mother the idea of being a father is something I really would like. I have worked in childcare so have lots of experience. The idea of taking on someone else's child would not be a problem as I am adopted so have first hand experience of knowing what it's like to have someone except you
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be involved with a woman who already has children. I think the only situation when it would be odd was if you wanted to date single mothers exclusively. Then it would be more like you were try to 'date' their kids.
More and more often, fathers play a very active roll in the upbringing of those children, so be prepared to share that male role in the child's life. No matter the level of involvement of the biological father compared with yours, the child will probably always consider the bio dad their 'real' dad. But, it sounds like you have given this idea considerable thought and have likely already considered this.
I, for one did not, nor would I ever date a woman with a child. I'm done with child rearing and do not enjoy the company of children any more.
I can't think of a more awful scenario that falling for a woman with a child, so there's no way I would date one.
