Things to do to help an adopting family:
1. Encourage them while they wait. (But don't continually ask them "So when ARE you going to get that baby/child?" It's like asking a pregnant woman, "Haven't you had that baby YET?")
2. Provide meals, offer to run errands, or help with housework for them after their child arrives, just like you would do for a mom who just delivered.
3. Provide financial help for their adoption or travel.
4. Host a baby shower for an adoptive family while they wait or after their child is home.
5. Ask to see pictures of the child they are waiting for.
6. Be supportive and positive.
7. Love them!
8. Pray for them!
