I live in Southern CA and know of four Gay and Lesbian families who have all adopted domestically in a relatively short period of time. I the the key or them was their level flexibility. All were open to lots of birth parent contact, all were open to race and all were open to limited physical or developemental challenges.
All both one family independent adoptions the fourth adoted from the county (3x) drug impacted but other wise healthy newborns. Half of the babies were AA or Biracial. If you are anywhere near LA there is a great organization run out of the West Hollywood Community Cener called "Maybe Baby" for Gay and Lesbian famlies. I would bet they would be a great resource.
If you are in the LA area and are interested in general adoption support I run a "Cookies and Conversation" group devoted to adoption issues out of my home in West LA. PM me and I will give you details.
