Do we have a chance at adoption?

Hello. My husband and I have been talking adoption for the past 5 months. I have left myself open to concider all of our options and what could happen or get in are way of having a successful adoption. And I thought who better to ask than someone who has chosen or is concidering adoption for their own child.
First of all. I am young. I will be 20 in May. I am married , my husband is 35 (and a cpt. in the Air Force), and we have married 1.5 yrs. We do have one child together. He will be 1 in April (I can't believe how big he's gotten). And I am a full time mom and loving it. It is my only job, and I want our family to continue to grow. I have no fertility problems that I am aware of. Although I know I have misscarried once.
I suppose I came to the descision to adopt because I was a young pregnant unwed mother at one time who became scared when I thought that I may have no life to offer my child. But soon found out that my bf then and husband now wanted me and my child both. And I have never loved a man so much. My love for him grew on that and into an amazing realtionship revolved around our family and wanting it to grow. I have always wanted to be just a mother, nothing else. And I was given the chance.
But now I just wonder if a mother who has made the choice of adoption for her child would be interested in a family like ours. It is one question that I never thought of. But would love advice or mabe answers in our situation. Thanks for your time. You are welcome to PM me, if you like. -Danielle
