Janet - I adopted my daughter 5 yrs ago, but I still try to keep up with adoption news overseas. In my case, I told my agency the basic criteria of the child I wanted to adopt (healthy, boy or girl under 12 months old) and then I traveled to Russia and met my daughter. There was more to it than that, so if you want more details, let me know! I am now going through a great agency for the adoption of my son from Guatemala and they were telling me not too long ago, about how things are going in European countries too. It sounds like you don't get much info to start with, but just about any country allows you to specify the sex and approximate age of child that you desire.
Have you thought about looking on the "Precious in His Sight Photolisting"? You can get a great idea of the children available and the country requirements for various locations around the world. It also provides connections to a large number of reputable adoption agencies as well.
Let me know if I can help you out with any info!
