My husband and I have just started the adoption process, and number 1 I would say it takes money. Unfortunately, most adoption situations are rather expensive. Mine will cost around $20,000.

Feel free to let me know if you have any detailed questions as I would love to talk to you about the process.

Hi! I am also 26 and looking to adopt next year. If money is not an option for you and you are willing to adopt a child that has a few difficulties, you can do so for no cost through DYFS. You can check out their website in your state and they can send you info. They mostly have older children, however sometimes they do have a fost-adopt program that has young ones. Good luck!
