Questions about adoption! <3?

Describe the adoption process.
Can you choose your child?
Can you name your child?
What are the requirements?
Can two people that aren't married adopt a child together (i.e. two friends)?

Thanks in advance!
Additional Details
I didn't expect it to be like looking through a catalog. I was just curious about how it was done.

Depends on where you adopt from.

We adopted from Foster Care...
We did not choose our child as he was placed with us while his parents were still working their case plan. If you adopt from an agency - the parents pick you.

We did rename our sons middle name - but depending on the age of the child you adopt - it may not be a great idea. Some mothers like to choose a name for the baby they are giving up for adoption.

Requirements vary from state to state.

No, two "friends" can not adopt a child together.

Adopting is not like flipping through the pages of a catalog. You can name the child, but if the child is old enough to know and answer to their name I would suggest you don't. The requirements are different in every state. I do not think friends can adopt together, you can if you have been married (typically more than 2 years) or if your single. I don't think you can if you are just living with someone.

Hey!

Why don't you and your friend go adopt a puppy together? Sounds more your speed.
