HI, I am normally not on this board, but wandered by today. As to what kind of adoption is right, only you and your husband can make that decision. That is something you will need to pray about and then listen for the answer. Some things to think about to narrow it down will be: What age of a child do you want to adopt?
(keeping in mind that most experts reccomend you stay younger than the child you already have)
How many children do you wish to adopt? If you want more than one, perhaps a sibling group longing for a family who will keep them together would be a good bet.
How much money can you spend. Only you can decide what you can really afford, or how much you can borrow or whatever.
Are you willing to accept a child of a different race? Are you willing to accept a child with special needs? Are you willing to have the child's birth family in your lives?
Pray about each of these and then listen to each other and to God. Then you can move to the next step.
