I think I am bout to adopt a kid..his names mohammed and he is disabled and his foster parents want to convert him to cristianity :-/
Re: stop me
And you want us to stop you because.............?
Re: stop me
If you can adopt him, provide for him and ur family will accept him, go ahead. But if the foster parents convert him to christianity, there's nothing you can do about that.... You said he's a kid, so he doesn't know any better, to differentiate between Islam and Christianity.. i don't think anyone has a right to object to a Muslim being adopted and raised as another religion if other Muslims aren't willing to adopt him or her...
Re: stop me
cuz i am a kid myself and raising a disabled child would take alot of courage 
Sara i dont know, i have to talk to my dad about this..maybe i can find him another family
Re: stop me
Listen, this family is willing to take him in and give him a home and be his parents....apparently no other Muslim families want this kid... how old is the child? One thing--if he is meant to live his life as a Muslim, he will, regardles of his upbringing..
Re: stop me
hahah so you want to adopt him because he is going to be a christian..that is the motivation..
you people need help.
Re: stop me
I think ur doing a good deed, but if u don't think u can take care of the person then I think u should help someone who is capable of taking care of that person and the family should be Muslim. It is important to show those who don't know much the right path....Inshallah Allah will reward u for what ur good deeds are. :)
Re: stop me
His foster parents want to convert him to christianity? They are only doing what they think is right for the family and the kid. After all, wouldn't you want your adopted child to be muslim that's he/she has a different faith. How old is this kid anyway? If the only reason for you to adopt the kid is his being converted to christianity, then that's insane. I suggest you go to the foster parents and tell them how the conversion is not right for the kid.
Re: stop me
foster parents are keeping him on the CONDITION that they can convert him or they wont, actually its they said if they cant fidn anohter home for him, they will convert him. Why are they in such a hurry? how the hell do u convert a one yr old kid? Dimagh why is that insane? Godforbid if anything were happen to u, would u want ur kid to be converted into some other religion? What would u want for ur kid? Thats all i am doing, if he was mine, I wouldnt want him converted to any other religion but what I think is right. Thats all.
Offcourse I cant change his fate but i can do watever is in my power to give this kid a better home or parents who wouldnt force a baby into becoming something. And lets not forget he was born a Muslim.
My dad said he will think about it 
usually hes like NO but I guess hes giving it a thought..
Re: stop me
what a pity it would be that a born muslinm child will be brougth up christian.
T J u can be a hero within urself and m sure that will be rewarded for this effort
plz do give in every thing.
plus i also wonder what are rules in this case. if its allowed to change the religion of child by foster parents ?
Re: stop me
The way you told the story, it seemed very incomplete. Hence, I concluded it with whatever I could make out. Since you have let us know both sides of the story, I can advice you better. The only reason I thought it would be insane to adopt a child was because I didn’t know what the foster parents’ terms and conditions were. I was pointing out exactly what you pointed out in your post. Put yourself in their shoees for minute, wouldn’t you want your kid to grow practicing Islam? Why would they want the kid to have a faith other than their own? It’s always about WHAT WE WANT AND HOW WE WANT IT… Same applies to both.
If that’s the only condition they would agree to adopt the child on, then you have my full support to go and save the kid from what he may regret later on. If I were you, I would have probably brought the child home by now. :k: Good luck!
Re: stop me
What if he converts when he will get old ?? 
Sarey keye karaey pe paani phir jai ga, Better adop a cat :k:
Re: stop me
Is there any "official" conversion for christians? I think they will just raise him as a Christian..... i agree iwth dimaagh, wud u want to raise a jewish or hindu kid? NO, ur gonna try to convert him or her... God forbid I was ever in teh situation that i couldn't take care of my child, then I would make sure that there was soemone else who would raise him as a Muslim instead of leaving it to chance

Re: stop me
you want to adopt this kid because
- YOU dont want this disabled child to worship a God other than Allah. 2.? 3.? 4.?
We have a stable couple who are offering this child the love and affection and the physical and emotional help and support they need.
Tell me, Are you prepared to give away a huge amount of your life to look after this child (you dont describe the extent of the childs disabilities ....) if they are severely disabled it would be more than twenty years possibly the whole of your life. Several hours each day
Are you willing to sacrifice the time you have with your own kids, possibly even decide upon have less kids or even none depending upon this childs needs because if you adopt...his needs will be paramount.
Are you willing to sacrifice your career or
Are you willing to sacrifice the chance working in order to look after the child for as many years as s/he needs perental responsibility.
the lack of funds MAY affect the chance to live in the house you want, go on the holidays you want and give your genetic children the material goods they want.
YOU are be an adult, but do YOU have the necessary criteria ie emotional, and real experience with working with and living with quite a difficult and demanding human.
Could you cope?
Are you the kind of person to lay down and die when things go wrong?
If you are , what would you do with the child, when you are fed up of it.....
and if you do get it, you'll have days when its a cutie pie and lovely and sweet and you'll have days when just looking at it makes you sick to the pits of your stomach, when you'd think
I hate you, because of you I cant do this or that.
Do you really only want to adopt just so s/he doesnt get to change they way in which they worship? How do you know that they wouldve grown up as a muslim if they had stayed with their original parents..............in the scheme of things does it REALLY matter?
Lets face it.... this child is a human and has its needs.... more so than others, if ALL you can provide is spiritual instuction, you are the LAST person they need.
One final note
What will happen if this child does convert? Will Allah slam close the gates of Heaven, Will those foster parents who have provided everything for it be cast into the depths of Hell?
Would Allah REALLY take umbrage that this child worships God rather than Allah?
Is it not enough that the child grows up into a good human
The Beauty of Islam is that WE as Humans do not judge, Its upto Allah to do that.
Re: stop me
Thank you Daisy, I had to stay away from this one for a while, immature doesn't cover it..
Re: stop me
i think you shouldnt do it if you only want to adopt him so he wont become christian. than why dont you adopt all the other kids this happens to as well.
whered you meet the kid.
