You may also want to read some books (if you haven't started already). Your library may have some, but I liked:
-Adoption for Dummies (Not sure who the author is)

-I also read a really good one by someone named, I think, Lois Melina.

If you can find the website to Tapestry books, they have LOTS of adoption books.

In case you don't already know, there are all sorts of adoptions, and there are positives and negatives in every type, you just have to decide what best fits your family.

At first I thought we would be doing a domestic adoption of a caucasion infant... after I began reading, we changed our minds... I NEVER thought we would do an international adoption. Now we are in process of adopting a beautiful little baby girl from Guatemala.

(I am by no means suggesting you should adopt from Guatemala... just to be ready for a HUGE amount of information...)

Good luck and congratulations on beginning your journey to grow your family.
