Right now Sierra Leone is closed to international adoptions (at least to the US). I hope that some day they will reopen, but right now it isn't an option.
 You might want to think about Liberia which is "next door" to SL and has a lot of similarities. Two of my kids are from Liberia and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have if you want to PM me or post on the Liberia forum. Two other African countries with open adoption programs are Ethiopia and Ghana. I have heard that there may be a small number of adoptions from Uganda and Kenya, but don't know anything about that. I hope this helps!

It's Open!
Hi, I am currently adopting twins from Sierra Leone. We are simply waiting on visa approval and then we will go pick them up.
Email me if you have other questions. It is recently opened back up and is a harder program...but doable!
