Welcome!
I have no specific words of wisdom. We adopted twice through foster-adopt--once in Illinois 14 yrs ago and once in NM 3 years ago. The substitiute care system (social services) is the biggest hurdle! Read all you can and ask lots of questions. Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is definitely worth it! Expect lots of frustration with the "system". Feel free to ask for guidance here-there is a wealth of information to be had.
