My husband and I are looking to adopt a special needs baby or young child (under 6) through private (possibly open) adoption.
We are open to all types of disabilities, and even illnesses that are life threatening or terminal.

There are many special needs babies/kids in the foster care system. I would check there before going private, not only to save money but also because these children are in desperate need of homes. I say this because you particularly mentioned special needs. Should you adopt through "the system," they even provide subsidies to maintain the child(ren)'s medical needs once they are adopted. Bless you for your openness. I know personally how difficult it can be to care for a child with significant needs. ↑
