Yes. So long as the couple is able to provide for the child's basic needs (food, shelter, clothing, basic education, etc). Your best bet is to work with a State-funded agency, such as Child Protective Services(CPS). These agencies have funding that will off-set a lot of the cost of adoption. Some fees that may be required...First-Aid and Child and Infant CPR training, Paperwork fees (though most don't require this), and transportation costs. Most towns or counties provide an initial class or meeting that defines and underlines all the state requirements for adoption. Information should be available for all forms of adoption including international adoptions. I recommend you go to your local chamber of commerce to obtain information on, social services, child protective services, or adoption services. This information should be readily available.

Yes. There is no legitimate reason to prohibit same-sex married couples from adopting children.
