Information on adoption criteria varies by state. You should consult your local adoption agency for more info.

Generally-speaking, adopting a US orphan child (i.e. one who legally has no parents) will be difficult (if not impossible) unless at least one of the adoptive parents is either a US Citizen or a US Permanent Resident.
