[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are PLENTY of orphaned Syrian kids. That is evident in parts of Turkey and other countries. I don't have any advice on adoption, but I've seen them with my own eyes, begging on the streets. Had a friend who was really attached to one little girl, but we didn't see a legal path forward for adoption, unfortunately.[/quote]

There are millions of "street kids" in the Middle East who have no families.  In Egypt alone there are an estimated 1 million at least.  Because Sharia law basically prevents adoption children without families or whose families are too poor or neglectful end up either in orphanages or on the streets.  And there is no real way to adopt a child.  Interestingly enough this leads to a lot of human trafficking because people who want a baby badly enough will just buy one.

I know this from personal experience because my SIL lives in one of these countries, is infertile, isn't even Muslim, is middle class and is perfectly able to raise a child, and could not adopt.[/quote]
