	International Adoptions
		International adoption is essentially a private legal matter between a private individual (or couple) who wishes to adopt, and a foreign court, which operates under that country's laws and regulations.
		Although adoption procedures vary from country to country, most countries require that prior to any court action, a child placed for adoption be legally recognized as an orphan or, in the case where a parent is living, be legally and irrevocably released for adoption in a manner provided for under local foreign law.
		In addition, the adoption laws in most countries require the full adoption of the child in the foreign court after the child has been declared an orphan or released by the living parent to an appropriate foreign authority.

	INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		International adoptions (also called intercountry adoptions) are those where the child is born outside the United States, but is adopted by adoptive parents living within the United States.
		Children not meeting this distinction (such as in a voluntary adoption by the birth mother as is common in America, where she selects the adoptive parents) would not be eligible for this special status to enter our country.
		International adoptions are potentially much more legally complex than domestic adoptions, but oddly, are usually completed much faster, as quality international programs are expert in dealing with the technical aspects of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) requirements, the laws and procedures of the child’s country, and the laws of the adoptive parents’ home state.

		If you are considering an international adoption, you should first contact the ministry or department in your province or territory to learn about its requirements (see list of provinces and territories).
		The visa officer must be satisfied that the adoption is not one of convenience (that is, solely for the purpose of facilitating the entry of the child or that of his or her relatives into Canada).
		As the requirements for international adoptions are subject to change and fall under provincial or territorial jurisdiction, we strongly recommend that you contact the province or territory where the child will reside for information, in particular regarding the home study requirements.

	ADOPTION INSTITUTE: INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION FACTS
		In the past six years, since the government-imposed moratorium on international adoption was lifted, adoptions from the Ukraine have gone from a low of 1 to a high of 1,246.
		The sudden drop in adoptions in 1992-1993 was the result of a temporary suspension of adoptions by the Romanian government.
		U.S. State Department data on international adoptions is based on the number of visas issued to children being adopted from other countries by U.S. citizens, although technically the visa data tracks the immigration of the children to the U.S., not their adoptions.

	ADOPTION INSTITUTE: International Adoption Updates on Regulations
		A recent Adoption Institute survey of over 1,600 American families who adopted internationally through U.S. agencies found that three out of four families were required by their agencies to carry cash to their adoptive child's country of origin to pay adoption service fees, with most directed to bring $3,000 or more.
		Second, adoption service contracts between providers and prospective adoptive families should create a clear and predictable business relationship by enumerating in plain language the services to be provided, the fees to be paid, the legal responsibility of the adoption agencies for staff, agents and subcontractors, the complaint resolution processes and other critical information.
		The Adoption Institute has recommended to the State Department (http://www.adoptioninstitute.org/policy/hagueregs.html) that agencies be required to follow strict standards with respect to fees charged and information provided about children available for adoption and be prohibited from requiring adoptive families to carry cash abroad to pay fees unless there is no other alternative.

		Your adoption agency is generally responsible either for filing the I 600A on your behalf or assisting you to file it.
