After months stuck in legal limbo in Japan, five British Columbia families will be able to bring the Japan-born children they adopted back to Canada.
The families found themselves ensnared in an immigration nightmare after the Canadian government refused to issue visas to their newly adopted children, amid confusion over a directive from Japan to the United States on international adoptions.
The notice advised American officials that all intercountry adoptions of Japanese children would need to be approved by Japanese courts, and not adoption agencies.
