A fatwa from a trustworthy source
Islam Question and Answer - He found a baby and adopted him

Also note that the child’s last name won’t be your brother’s first name as he is not the real father. The child’s last name should be the first name of his father , if his father is not know then it should be Abdullah (Servant of Allah), as the child is the son of a Servant of Allah.

Allah knows best.

I don’t mean any disrespect by sharing my view point.

Honestly, some of the rulings and rules that people pull out as Islamic are no longer valid because the world has changed so radically since that ruling or taken out of context. I think people should try to get to the meaning behind the ruling or a fatwa. Back in the day when you lived in a itty bitty tribe, it was important to keep the adopted child’s name the same as before to prevent incest.

Now when you don’t know who the father of the child is it’s kinda hard to keep his/her last nameand if the child is being adopted from overseas are they seriously going to get in touch with their biological siblings and fall in love and end up in marriage?
