Mind if we list some information here? Here's a sampling of what I came across today:

In relation to adopting children from Afghanistan:

There is no adoption of Afghani children, only guardianship, and this poses a problem to those from other countries in moving the child - immigration issues.

Afghanistan is not part of the Hague Convention for adoption and this really seems to complicate matters

That said, there seems to be a way to work around this and Insha'Allah still stay within Shariah laws. Here is something that details the process for US citizens.

This article dated 2008? mentions a new adoption law in the making to help the over 2 million orphaned children but I don't know if such a law has come to fruition.

Another article on the challenges of adopting children from Afghanistan

From info from some of the many other SF threads on adoption:

Foster Care Link out of the UK linked to in another thread.

Sponsoring an orphan listed as 1 of 10 things every Muslim in the West (and anywhere really) should do on this thread.

Here is a sampling of information about adoption from some Muslim countries. You can plug in any country here and get some information on the country you're interested in:

Pakistan

Turkey (and this)

Egypt

Iraq

Niger

Somalia

I read somewhere that there are some 163 million orphaned children currently around the world.

Where I live, Canada, there are over 30,000 children waiting to be adopted. Question for everyone: how about your area?

for research sis. i checked out adoption.state.gov & that is a really really useful website.

i found one more:
mahbobaspromise http://www.mahbobaspromise.org/ for the australian Muslims.

my area? think of a number and multiply it to the power of 10, thats India for you.

200 million, yes, 2 0 0 million go hungry daily in India, Here Much of that is not because India doesn't have food, but 'coz of mismanagement of the resources...

@aapa sudoku, just a humble suggestion, of you are going for the adoption sooner or later, go for the girl child.
there are many avenues for the male kids, but not as many for the females.
