Where to start the adoption process?

I have no clue. I would like to adopt in the next 6 years and would like a newborn but I have no clue how to go about it. Does it really take like 2 years to adopt? (I am married with 1 kid and plan to have 1 more before I adopt).

Ditto above answer and also check out these blogs to get an idea of the realities of adoption - would add loads but restricted on how many links I put here so chose a handful:

http://adoptingmyidentity.blogspot.com

http://joy21.wordpress.com

http://weebleswobblog.com

http://allmykiddos.blogspot.com

Two are mothers blogs, two are adult adoptee blogs and two adoptive parent blogs.

Where to start? Go to exiledmothers.org and read Nancy Verrier's, The Primal Wound - these will help you see/truly understand the 'myths' behind adoption. Never jump into something blind.
