Both of our adoptions, the one 13 years ago, and the one that we are working on now, kind of have dropped in on me right out of the blue, so there wasn't a great deal of preparation. My son was 11 months old when he came to live with me, and 2 1/2 years old when we finally adopted him. My (soon to be) daughter is 12.
As one who has never adopted an infant, had to prepare, go through home studies, agencies, and the like, I probably am not very equipped to help you as well. Hopefully, a dad will be along who has done these things who can give you some advice.
Best wishes to you!
