    1. Be an adult.
    2. Contact a lawyer who specializes in adoption in your area--state laws vary on adoption.
    3. Contact adoption agencies to find out what THEIR requirements are.
    4. Submit to a state home study.
    5. Pray.

    There are so many different kinds of adoption, and so many different ways to go about it, that your best bet is to either contact a lawyer or an adoption agency in your area and ask what the requirements would be for you.
