Yes, the general process you know is correct. At first, you need to provide the following documents: an application form, both of your personal certification (including your birth and citizen information), marital status certificate, occupations and financial proof, health examination certificate, no-criminal record, aocument that testifies that the adoption accords with the USA's laws. Then you need to send all these documents to be notarized by a notary public and be legalized by certain departments. Then you need to hand in these documents to Chinese consulate or embassy to get authenticated. After that, they will tell you how to do in the next.
