This question is far beyond what can be answered here. Each state and nearly all foreign countries have their own rules and laws.
If the child is a relative, and no other relatives are attempting to gain custody, things are pretty simple in most places.
If the child is not a relative, but is someone known to you, and any existing family supports you in adopting, there are barriers but the legal process is not too bad in most places.
If the child is not a relative and you have no connection, then you will generally have to go through some elaborate steps. Again how painful and timetaking these steps are varies greatly by region. Be prepared to prove that you are qualified to be a parent, that you will raise the child as well or better than any natural parent, that you have a home filled with love and respect, that you have a reasonable and steady income. This can take many months or even years.
Finally, if the child is a street child or is living in an orphanage in a faraway country, be prepared for a real rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. Very, very few countries just allow Americans to simply take a child home from an orphanage anywhere in the world. Immigration will not be easy anymore. Some countries prevent you from adopting if you are not of the religion, culture, language or race of the child.
