Re: All Things Adoption
That’s really big-hearted of your brother to consider adoption, MashaAllah.
I’ll share a family experience.
My Uncle adopted two kids years ago. The whole family supported him, MashaAllah. The adoption process was incredibly difficult and even family members were interviewed and checked etc. After about a year they were finally allowed to adopt the kids they wanted.
Both adopted kids came from very abusive parents and through the courts the biological parents were told they were not even allowed to live in the same city as their kids and they were never allowed to have any contact again. My Uncle told the family openly what all his adopted kids had been put through as he didn’t want to keep secrets.
My Uncle did not want his adopted kids to have their biological father’s real surname due to the horrific things the kids were put through. He also wanted to protect their identities which is why both of his adopted kids had taken his last name. Both kids know they’re adopted. MashaAllah, both go to private school and are so hard-working, cheerful and well-mannered. My Uncle is doing a fantastic job, MashaAllah.
His adoption story is very inspiring.
My other cousins are just a month away from getting their adopted child, InshaAllah. They have two kids already.
