The answer

Islam has forbidden adoption because it infringes upon rights and mixes lineages. Adoption must be abolished if possible without causing harm. However, if its abolition would lead to harm, then there is no objection to maintaining it, provided a document is drawn up to prevent any religiously forbidden matters. You should inquire about the Islamic ruling before taking any actions.
