In my state (Indiana) they generally say for a straight adoption, expect the child to be 7 or over. It is occasionally possible, but a lot of the time, the foster family adopts the child.
One suggestion I have: If you know foster families that don't usually adopt, talk to them about doing respite care. I have a friend who began doing repsite for a little 8 month old boy. The foster mom knew it was moving towards adoption. When he did become available, my friend was chosen as an adoptive placement for him. I have heard this is fairly common.
