The "I won't buy anything until the baby is on his/her way home with me" is a feeling a lot of adopting parents have! Some get over it, and some stay that way.
Do go and browse the baby stores anyway, as it sounds like you'd welcome an infant family member no matter how he/she arrived in your home. You can put things on layaway, so that you can either make the final payment and bring them home when you arrive home with the baby, or you can cancel the layaway and get your money back. It's a lot less hurtful having someone call and cancel layaways than it is to have to dismantle a nursery in your home. That might be a good compromise - you're not going to feel like shopping after you arrive home tired, emotionally wiped out, and soothing an equally tired and stressed out baby!
Good luck to you!
