My wife and I have been on the wait list for about a year. No comments on actually parenting adopted children, other than the fct that every single one of them has been through a trauma, or many. So you have to bear that in mind as you develop parenting strategies, there are things that you can do with biological kids that just won't work with a lot of adopted kids, time-outs for instance.
From our experience, the one thing that you aren't prepared for is how invasive the home-study process is prior to approval (may be different in your state, but here it was quite in-depth), and how emotional the waiting game is. We've been shortlisted a couple of times, and each time a different family was selected. Even though we've tried to keep a barrier up and not get too invested in the kids (we just get a written profile of the child), you can't help but develop an attachment and imagine what they would be like in your home. The first time we were shortlisted, the adoption worker sent us photos of the kids as well. I would recommend that you specifically ask to NOT receive photos. We attached to them almost instantly, and it was terrible when we weren't selected.
