Whoa! Slow this train down! There are many legal steps that need to be taken before an adoption happens, and many emotional ones that need to be taken to make the transition the least stressful for the children. Children are not property to be transferred, and it's important to keep their welfare foremost.
First of all: DO NOT GIVE THIS WOMAN ANYTHING (nothing, not a pen, not a handkerchief, not a figurine, nothing, and definitely not plane tickets) until you have contacted an adoption attorney. If you do so, you may invalidate any future adoption by making it look as if there was a transfer of valuables in exchange for the children.
Second: contact an adoption attorney. Not just any old attorney, but one skilled and experienced in adoption-related matters. This is going to be a complex case.
Third: You will need a homestudy done. Your attorney can recommend a social worker.
Fourth: Don't get your hopes up. These things very often fall through, especially when they begin as informally as this has.
Hope things work out best for you, the children, and their birthmother.
