Unfortunately...
... you have a serious problem.
Even if you complete a totally legal adoption in a country, the U.S. will NOT issue an adoption visa to a child if he/she does not meet the "orphan definition" outlined in the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. A child who has been living with two married parents is not an orphan under the Act. In most cases, you would have to live overseas with the child before he/she qualifies for a regular visa, since he/she does not qualify for an adoption visa.
Your best bet is to consult an immigration attorney in the U.S. to see if anything can be done.
