The Department of State does not maintain files on the [[adoption]] process in Iraq because adoptions from Iraq are rare; fewer than five adoptions by American citizen parents have taken place since 2000. Islamic Shari'a Law does not allow for [[adoption]] as it is recognized in the United States; rather, they allow for "guardianship". American Citizens interested in adopting from Iraq are encouraged to read more about [http://adoption.state.gov/adoption_process/faqs/adoption_of_children_countries_islamic_sharia_observed.php Islamic Shari'a Law]. Please visit the Department's [http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/country.html Country Specific Information] sheets for more information on travelling to Iraq and the [http://iraq.usembassy.gov/ U.S. Embassy Baghdad's website] for information on consular services.
