I don't think there is any "adoption" classes however, I would expect that you'd have to attend a parenting class. It might also depend on your state so ask an adoption agency
No. And the child is not given to a agency. If you wish to adopt your brothers child you need to do a homestudy. Without it the court will not approve the adoption. If your brother can not take care of his he can give you temporary custody. He will then pay child support to you. After the home study you can apply for adoption. You will need a lawyer and so will your brother.
This varies from state to state. You should call an adoption agency or adoption attorney in the state where the child resides.
You have to have completed the home study and been approved for adoption. Then if you know a mother willing to give up her child you get a lawyer and she gets one too and they prepare the paperwork. After everyone has signed the lawyers finish it in court where you also have to be to have the adoption finalized.
Any parent looking to adopt should check with their city/state about kids up for adoption. Contact a local adoption agency to find out who is up for adoption. Make sure you know if you want to have an open or closed adoption (open is the birth parents can contact the child closed is they can not) and be prepared for adoption to be set up and then fall though (the birth mother/father stop the adoption process).
