Finding a Muslim Family Ready to Adopt 

American Adoptions helps women of all backgrounds find the perfect adoptive families for their babies, and that includes Muslim women. Many of the birth mothers we work with wish to find a family of the same religious views. Because of our national size and scope, we can take your desired attributes and provide you with specific available profiles that match what you’re looking for in an adoptive family. 

What are Common Reasons for Searching Muslim Couples Who Want to Adopt a Baby? 

Whether you are a Muslim yourself or simply drawn to the religion, many positive aspects come with placing your child with a Muslim couple who wants to adopt a baby.  

Islam believes strongly in lineage, meaning not recognizing a child’s biological parent by the adoptive family is illegal under Islamic law. This fits in well with the choice of “open” or “semi-open adoption” in America, which is the preferred adoption choice of most birth mothers and adoptive families. With the Islamic community mostly welcoming the idea of adoption, prospective birth mothers worried about their peers accepting their decision becomes less of a factor. 

You might specifically search for Muslim parents who want to adopt because you want your baby raised with the following beliefs: 

• Muslims believe in one God. Muslims believe that there is one God (Allah) and that He alone should be served and worshipped. 
• Muslims believe the Quran is Allah’s final revelation to Prophet Muhammad. They believe it was revealed to the prophet through the angel Gabriel over approximately 23 years. 
• Muslims believe in a day of judgment. On one appointed day, life will come to an end and everyone will be raised from the dead. Each individual will be judged and either rewarded in Heaven or punished in Hell, based on whether or not they were faithful and performed good deeds. 
• Muslims believe in destiny and the divine. Allah has a plan and everything happens by His will. This does not, however, mean Muslims don’t believe in free will and choice; Allah simply knows what our choices will be before we make them. 
• Muslims believe in the five pillars of Islam. These are the pillars by which they worship: the Declaration of Faith, daily prayer, Zakah (a type of charity), the fast of Ramadan, and the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in present-day Saudi Arabia. 

If it’s important to you to find a Muslim couple who wants to adopt a baby, this is possible with American Adoptions.

Questions to ask a Muslim Couple Who Wants to Adopt a Baby 

It can be intimidating to get to know prospective adoptive parents for your baby, and starting conversations about religion can be especially tough. When the time comes for you to meet your child’s prospective adoptive parents, it can be helpful to have a list of questions such as the following: 

• What drew you to Islam? Were you born into it, or did you convert? 
• What is your religious community like? 
• Why are Muslim values important to you? 
• What is your religious background like? What was your experience growing up as a Muslim? 
• How do you plan to teach your children about Islam? 

What Other Questions Should You Ask Yourself about a Muslim Couple Who Wants to Adopt a Baby? 

The qualities you look for in your child’s prospective adoptive parents most likely won’t revolve solely around their faith. Your adoption specialist will ask you to consider questions such as the following: 

• Do you feel strongly about whether or not your child has siblings? To some women, it’s important to place their child with a couple who has struggled with infertility and hasn’t been able to have children. Other women feel strongly about their children having siblings, and so they may choose to place their child with a family that already has children to ensure that their baby has that experience growing up. 
• Do you envision your child being raised in a specific location? Do you see him or her in a small community in the Midwest? Do you want your child to live in an urban area with a wealth of career or educational opportunities? As a national adoption agency, American Adoptions works with families across the country and can make whatever kind of life you envision for your baby a reality. 
• Are there other belief systems you want to share with your child’s adoptive parents? You will already have quite a bit in common if you both practice the Islamic faith. However, would you like to have aligning beliefs in terms of things like politics and work ethic? 

Adoption is a life-changing decision that not only gives your child the loving and nurturing home he or she deserves but also creates a better future for everyone involved. If you’re a birth mother focused on educational or career goals, adoption can keep you on that path. Muslim adoptive families hoping for the chance to grow a family through adoption are given that gift when you choose adoption and it’s an experience you will bond over for years to come.
