А я вот что нашла, может, это порадует канадских мамочек - Закон на 2010It is possible to adopt a child from a foreign country without the assistance of a certified agency. However, strict rules apply. the adoptive parent is a relative provided for in the Order;the adoptive parent is a national of the child's country of origin, and the requirements under the Order are met;in compliance with the Order, and owing to exceptional circumstances and humanitarian considerations, adoption is the best means to ensure protection of the child's rights.http://www.formulaire.gouv.qc.ca/cgi/affiche_doc.cgi?dossier=10831&sujet=82
