Remember all discussion of agencies or attourneys must be done via PM.
Right now one thing to remember is that there are two parts to a foreign adoption. One part is the actual adoption in which you must follow all the laws of the country in which you are adopting (in this case Poland) the second part is the immigration part, in which you must follow the laws of the country to which you want to bring the child. So if you want to adopt a child and you will be staying in Poland permanantly or at least long term, then you only need to worry about Polish Law, however if you wish to bring that child into the US you must also follow US law. (in which case you could not do a private adoption as only a documented orphan can get a visa) I am told the waiting list to adopt a newborn privatly is very long in Poland, a lot like in the U.S.
