This depends entirely on particular circumstances concerning where you live, particular VISA conditions, whether the child is in Syria or in refugee camps in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, or Turkey, whether the child is an illegal or legal resident in a different jurisdiction. Please consult a local adoption lawyer for specifics related to your case.
However, some general information is that the US, Canada, EU, Australia, and most other first-world countries are signatories to the Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, which provides ground-rules for inter-country adoptions. Syria and Iraq are not party to this agreement, Jordan and Turkey are, and Lebanon is in the middle of registration. It is also unclear what the possibilities are for adopting a refugee and many countries have differing statutes on this issue.
