International Adoption Process
International adoption (also called inter-country adoption) is a process that recognizes an individual or couple as the legal and permanent parent(s) of a child from another country. An international adoption complies with the laws of both the sending and receiving countries.
For all international adoptions, you must complete two separate processes:

- Advise on the Adoptions Laws of the country from where you want to adopt.

To be eligible to adopt a child, you must meet the adoption requirements of the Canadian province/territory where you live, the country where you live if you are living abroad, and the adoption authority of the country where the child lives.
