Can you adopt from Puerto Rico if you live within the US?

Question

Can you adopt from Puerto Rico if you live within the US?

Answer 1

I dont see why you couldnt. Puerto Rico is a US territory.

That is why you dont need a passport to go there.

Besides you can adopt from a ton of other countries so why wouldnt you be able to from PR?

Good luck and best wishes

Answer 2

Not sure why you are asking, but yes you can.

I also know that Guatemala has a great program and I know people who have adopted from there with great experiences.  (And BEAUTIFUL babies)

Answer 3

Puerto Rico is an American Provence, not a state, so I'm not sure how the law changes for that sort of situation....

Sorry, I don't know, but I hope I've still helped!

Answer 4

According to adoptions.org, you can.  Puerto Rico has its own laws and regulations that you'd need to be aware of.  I know you can adopt in other US territories.

Answer 5

I dont see why people adopt from other countries,

when people in america are throwing kids out on the street everyday.
