The U.S. Interest Section in Havana has been advised that Cuban law does not allow for intercountry adoption.  Adoptions of Cuban children are reserved for adoptive parents who are Cuban citizens.  Dual nationality is also not recognized under Cuban law.  The U.S. Interest Section in Havana has issued no immigrant visas to Cuban orphans for a at least the past five fiscal years.
