If you have prepared yourself for older kids, I would suggest reading Toddler Adoption by Mary Beth Hopkins. It can be a bit scary, but helps you prepare for the unique challenges in adopting a toddler. A friend of mine was matched with an 18 month-old and everything seemed to be smooth sailing. Now, after two years she is having some emotional issues. Toddlers not babies who won't remember anything, yet they are too young to comprehend what is going on or to express their fears and worries verbally.
Not trying to be negative; just trying to help you prepare. Congrats on the possible match!
