Central and South America

Most of Central and South America is effectively closed to adoptions by Canadians. There are some exceptions.

To understand what is happening about adoptions from Haiti, see Adopting from Haiti. 

Guatemala is a prohibited country for adoptions by Canadians. For a discussion of the reasons, see The Abandoned Children of Guatemala.
