My understanding is that if a couple adopts a child in another country (like your friends adopting from Italy), then the child has to live with them (or one of them) there for 2 years before the child could get a visa to enter the U.S. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but do know couples that are both non-citizens considering this. What I don't know is if the child could get a tourist visa to visit this country. There are probably groups out there that would have answers. I used to read on the nri-ichild (non-resident Indian) group on ichild.org and this subject came up alot. I even seem to remember of a case where the child was able to get a visa to immigrate to the U.S. before the 2 years were up.

Very unhappy with my agency due to lack of communication, long process, contract restrictions, and many other reasons. Ask me if you'd like to avoid them.
