Answer 1

I would recommend contacting a local adoption agency that specializes in "identified" adoptions or a local adoption attorney.  It is a legal process so you want to make sure that you are filing the proper paperwork, etc.  

Good luck to you.

Answer 2

talk to an attorney who has dealt with private adoptions before...good luck

Answer 3

Before you start shopping for lawyers or anything get out the phone book and call your local social services office.  Tell them the overview of your unique situation and they can help you get started.  Don't pay a lawyer yet for the social services office can tell you for free.  

In the mean time get your house ready for the home study.  Make sure it is clean and safe and ready for a child.
