Pull out the yellow pages and start calling all the agencies in your area.
You will need to do some research on whether you want to adopt domestically or internationally and about what age child you are interested in adopting. Then start interviewing agencies. You want to find one that is ok with you being single and one whose philosophy matches yours. Ask for references. Ask them if they have any other single fathers who have adopted through them. Once you pick an agency, then you can get a homestudy done and start looking for a child.
International may be more difficult since many countries have restrictions on who can adopt. Your best bet is likely to be adopting a slightly older boy through a public agency. On the other hand, that REALLY depends on where you live! You may find that a private agency is able to move faster and is more flexible.
