Yes - it would most likely be treated as any other private adoption. The first thing you should do is consult an adoption attorney - one who specializes in adoption rather than a "generic" attorney. A good place to start looking for one is [url]www.adoptionattorneys.org[/url]
which is the website for the American Academey of Adoption Attorneys. The attorney will tell you what all the appropriate steps are - the first will be to get a homestudy done as this can take a few months to get completed. It generally involves fingerprinting which can take a while to get the results back.
Best of luck with your match!
