Not sure about other methods of adoption but, for Foster Care adoption -- in our case anyway -- Only one parent needed to be a US Citizen... My husband is Canadian and there was not even a blink.

It depends on where you are at and where the children are from.
No US citizenship is required to adopt many foreign children!
