I'm coming in late, and have not read the other responses. (so I am probably repeating)

The first step is to find an agency and start on your homestudy.

The agency will take things from there. You can go private or state for your agency. We went state but when we could not find a "match" via our state system, we ended up adopting twice via private agencies. (both special needs adoptions)

Best wishes. My only advice if you are looking at special needs adoptions is to be very sure you can handle it......even as trained special ed teachers, we had no idea what parenting a child with developmental disabilities entailed!!
