[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but adopting an orphan does not require the kid to be from Syria. Right now, there are countries that have better established practices to determine if kids can be reunited with birth relatives, to screen prospective adoptive families, and to match kids with parents who can meet their needs. Syria has none of this. Given Muslim teachings on adoption, even without a war it is unlikely that a non-relative non-Muslim would have been able to adopt a child. If OP has decided that older child international adoption is of interest, it would make sense to attend an info session with Barker, Adoptions Together, Lutheran Social Services, or another agency. Starting to read some books might also be good--Melissa Fay Green has a memoir, and Adopting Older Children is short and readable. Adoptive Families magazine might also be of interest.[/quote]
