It's been 13 years since I completed an adoption of an SC.

It has become much more difficult.

Foreign Embassies will most often no longer support you (a letter is needed for Singapore Family Court) and countries with declining birth rates are closing doors.

My wife knows a couple. Aussie husband, Korean wife on EP. They managed to adopt a boy from Malaysia just about 2 years ago. If I recall correctly, they were told that they had "just" managed to sneak in. Because a couple of months later they tightened the legislation to prevent non citizens/non PRs from adopting children in Singapore.
