we have had success
we are a lesbian couple and adopted through an agency. We also have some really close friends, a gay male couple who adopted once with an agency and once in a private placement. It is possible to find the right match. PM me if you want and we can share more. To get started, you need to explore the laws in your state; decide if you want domestic or international, etc; and find a professional (agency/attorney you can trust). I called about 40 agencies and just put our situation out their "we are a lesbian jewish couple and want to adopt an aa infant, would you be willing to work with us and have you had previous sucess with this sort of situation?" -- you could tell alot from their answer -- some for the actually content but much more by how many "uhms" they muttered and how comfortable they seemed talking to me -- I just hung up and moved on when I didn't get good vibes. I can give you a few agency names if you want to go that way, also Human rights campaign website has a referral for adoption profs by state, and on this forum there is a thread for gay adoptive parents. It is under "parenting" from the main this of topics and "blended families", hope you can find it.
