Research and pray!!!!
It is hard and there are some adoption agencies, birth families, and attys etc. that are unethical. It is true.
Most are good and you can post a name of an atty or facilitator here and just ask for feedback and PM's good or bad. That will help you a lot. I suggest doing that.
I am sooooo glad there is talk here about orphanages on this thread. It is a great way to adopt. There are many children in orphanages that need homes too not just the newborns.
I was never offered and didn't know much about children in orphanages and the system of that type of adoption.
Pray and research and go with what fits your family and what you have peace about.
I have wonderful contacts if you need any.
Best Wishes, 
Laura Jean
