Me and my two other brothers got adopted by my aunt and her husband. My mother's sister that is. We lived with my first mother in Somalia until her passing, then we moved to England. We were very young and my brothers remember nothing of Somalia.
So far as me and my brothers are concerned we turned out well. We were loved by our parents and late grandmother, our siblings were happy to have us. We were never made to feel any less.
Adoption is something me and my step brother talk about about lol, he is a "light" sheikh so he is often of the opinion that it is forbidden and not "sharia", the concern around this tends to be when the boy or girl comes of age and are living with "unrelated" adults and other fears of endangering children.
One of my brothers grew up to be a sheikh, the other one is a civil engineer contractor and I am a programmer by trade.
I have given adoption a lot of thought for sure, eventually deciding to adopt some of my children as well, my brother's concerns scare me, of course, so its important for me to find a wife who will be on board with this for herself as well.
