What naruto and iruka had was pretty much a father /son relationship so why not just take naruto into his home?

Iruka only began to care for naruto about 1-2 yrs before the start of the series by then naruto didn't need any parents. He had already grown up and had gotten used to life alone.

Iruka is a playboy. Hanging out different girls every night. Naruto would scare the chicks.

Why would he? In a shinobi village the percentage of orphaned children would be astronomically high. Naruto was already self caring by the time Iruka took much notice. Iruka was also a young man himself who was orphaned

As an Academy Instructor I don't think he would get much income, so if he did adopt Naruto It'd be hard to support him

Konoha wouldn't let Iruka and Kakashi adopt and raise a child.

Because Naruto and Iruka didn't bond until Naruto was 12.

Iruka was only 12 when Naruto was a baby anyway.

Iruka was way too young and an orphan himself, the village took care of these kids: Kakashi, Iruka, Naruto, Sasuke are probably not the only ones without any family alive but none of them were adopted by a new one.

Because of plot. He didn't even have to adopt him he could have simply lived with him.
