The best way is to become a licensed foster family through DHHS and then foster to adopt.

Not only is adopting through an agency unbelievably expensive (like $25k up front before they will even talk to you, and possibly another $25k in fees during the process), the adoption industry is incredibly shady. Especially foreign adoptions.

Many of the “orphans” coming from developing countries are either kidnapped off the street by the adoption agencies, or purchased for cash money from their birth parents, or born in baby mills where trafficked women are raped specifically in order to make babies to sell to western couples.

Go through the foster system. You may not get a baby, and the children may have health or behavioral issues related to the traumas they have endured, but they are the kids with the most need. And the state pays most of the expenses.
