Wondering how to involve bio-daughter in adoption process

Hi. We have decided to pursue adoption, and plan to attend an information session by Welcome House on international adoption next month. We are leaning toward adopting from Korea.
We have an eight-year-old biological daughter who wants nothing more than a baby sister! Every time she makes a wish in a fountain or on a birthday cake, that's what she wishes for. We tried for several years to conceive again (it took us five years and fertility treatments to conceive her!) and have had two early miscarriages in the past three years. Our daughter was heartbroken -- she knew about both miscarriages and in fact was in the room when an ultrasound revealed the second baby had died.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how much to involve her in the adoption process and how to prepare her for a new sibling?
Thanks.
