Salamualaikum sister,
If anyone here guides you to such an adoption agency, that'll be great. Otherwise, you can consider the following:
Allah's Messenger Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam said:
Every child is born on Fitrah (natural disposition; or true faith of Islam to worship none but Allah) till his tongue expresses him (i.e. express his creed), thus his parents make him a Jew or a Christian or a Magian. [Related by Al-Bayhaqy and Al- Tabarany in Al-Mu`jam Al- Kabir]. (Part No. 3; Page No. 525)
It was also related by Imam Muslim in another wording, saying: Every child is born by his mother on Fitrah but his parents convert him to Judaism, to Christianity, or to Magianism. , and Al-Bukhari as follows: Every child is born on Fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian just as the animal produces its baby with perfect limbs. Do you see any deficiency in its shape?
Based on this, you can adopt a baby, even from a Christian, Jewish or any other family, because the baby would be pure, upon the Fitrah.
But you should remember that whether you adopt a child from a Muslim family or a non Muslim family, you can not give it the name of your husband. This is not allowed in Islam. The child has to be called by its real father's name.
Wassalamualaikum
Muhammad Waseem
