Adoptions can happen slowly, but they can also happen quickly. So, my opinion would be to go ahead and start getting stuff. I'd say stick to gender neutral colors. Or, if you don't care, get whatever. DH and I didn't get a lot of pink in the beginning because we knew if we had a boy we wouldn't want him in pink (not to mention neither of us like pink!), but we didn't mind getting blue because we wouldn't have a problem putting a girl in blue. We did end up having a girl but we didn't mind any of the blue we had because we tried to stick to neutral themes even if the color were blue. Our carseat, stroller, bedding, etc., was all neutral.
We felt better having some of these purchases out of the way even though we didn't know when our baby was coming because then we didn't have to worry about running to the store at 2 am to get "essentials", not to mention all the things we'd still have to buy because we didn't know we'd need. =) And, once we did know our baby was a girl, we did start getting more "girly" things, but up to that point what we got we stayed pretty neutral.
In regards to your question about the stroller... if you like the neutral one and feel the need to buy now, I'd say go with that. That way, if you have a boy it'll work and if you have a girl it'll work.
