twinkle twinkle little star!!

**Muslims must be very careful in ‘adopting’ a child if they care for their religion. In Islam, there is NO such thing as adoption as we know it. you may bring in a child and take care of him/her but two things you can NOT do…islamically! they are:

-your last name [the child must retain his/her last name for his identity sake]
-your inheritance [the child is NOT entitled to any inheritance EXCEPT what you give on your own free will during your life time…you may can NOT include the adopted child in the will…this is to protect the rights of the chain of next of kins as defined in Islam.]**

Sources please?
