Currently residing in Zambia (looking to adopt)

For the past 8 months my family (husband and 3.5 year old son) have been residing here in Lusaka, Zambia. Originally we're from the US and as we near the end of our stay in Zambia, I've been thinking heavily on adoption.

My son is nearing 4 years old and there is no pregnancy nor luck with the success of adding to our family. Rather than watch the months to continue to pass by, empty, I have leaned heavily towards adoptions. I always assumed we would do so in the states but my husbands job has brought us here. So I don't see the difference between parenting.

I'm looking for those who have had success or experience from here in Zambia. I know briefly about the 3 month wait. It's not uncommon to see caucasians with black babies, but I am not sure of what the circumstances are and what must be done to finalize it.

My family has 8 months left here in Zambia, and while it appears to be enough time, I am expecting hang ups.

Thank you
