Hello! I work at a private agency and we have had some families pursue adopting from the US. As regulations and laws can be different in each Province, I would recommend talking to someone from your local Adoption office with the Government. While adopting from the US is legal here in Alberta, I would say it is definately not the first choice of the folks at Adoption and Permanency Services. Also, an adoption from the US is normally not finalized in Alberta so it can require that the family remain in the US until an adoption is finalized and then apply to Immigration Canada. Adoption & Permanency Servies would need to approve your home assessment and then would provide a "Letter of No Involvement" indicating that they have approved you to adopt but that after that point they have no involvement in your adoption.
Hope this helps.
