Should we contact CEJA directly in one of the states where it operates (and which one?), or should we contact a local adoption attorney? We'd appreciate your help.

I suggest you to ask your relatives in Brazil to call the CEJAs in order to update you with information. If you want to adopt a baby I suggest you to begin your search in the northeast states.O site tem timas informa㧵es em portugues.Boa sorte! Gostaria de ter sido de maior ajuda. (Desculpe pelo ingls macarrꓴnico)AnaPS: Brazilians living abroad lost their priority adopting from Brazil in many BrazilianԒs state because the Hague convention got the criteria of residence to establishes which adoption is considered an international one. So, it is a good suggestion to ask if you will have any kind of advantage by the fact you are Brazilian when calling the CEJAs.
