Virginia adoption, military non-resident

We are also looking to adopt in VA, we are going through DSS, as we are interested in a special needs child, but we have been told that because we are military, that the normal residency restrictions do not apply. I am a NC resident, and he is a SC resident. As far as the military reimbursement for the adoption though, it must be either through a state run or state approved agency, which limits the list quite a bit.
