Young too
I can relate in that my husband and I are both in our 20's as well and some people seem to think that we should not be adopting (not that we care). We are infertile and it is very unlikely that we will conceive without some treatment/intervention. However, for personal reasons, we do not want to get started down that road. The prevailing attitude is something like, "You're young, give it time," and "There are so many things doctors can do now." When we say we want to adopt, people just don't understand.
But we really want to provide a loving home for a child who would otherwise not have one. And that is where we run into the question you are asking--how do we find a child that does not have a long list of people waiting to adopt him or her? You say you do not feel older or special needs would be a good match for your family, so, from what I understand (but I'm no expert), transracial adoption would probably be a good answer for you. I don't know if you will necessarily find a child who would otherwise not have a forever family, but I think if it wasn't for families like your's, they wouldn't.
