So, the answer is no...adoptive parents can't adopt a baby born in Canada...the pregnant mom has to come to the US and give birth.

I caution members about this method however. Due to this type of thing being done with RMI and Hawaii, the US actually has a law on bringing pregnant women to the states to give birth and place their child for adoption...it was passed in Jan 2004 I believe.

Doing this could endanger the legalities of the adoption, should it be discovered.
