Hi lovingmomhappykids!
Since you sound quite knowledgeable about this topic, could you answer a question for me?
I have two Muslimah friends who have mentioned they'd like to adopt in passing. But neither is pursuing it right now. Both have young bio kids.
My question is: Is there any reason that a Muslim family could not adopt a non-Muslim child? Since there is such focus on the maintenance of biological ties, I wonder if this extends to the biological family's religion as well? So if a Muslim family adopted a child whose bio family were Christian, would they raise the child Muslim or would they have to try to maintain that Christian faith for the chid? Or to avoid this dillemma, is this not allowed?
I ask bc I'd like to offer encouragement to my friends to pursue adoption if they still feel open to it when their kids are a little older, and I'd like to have my facts straight.
Thanks in advance! 
God bless!
Karolina
