Ans:

Adoption mean that you take a young child a poor child and give him lodging, boarding, clothing bringing into your house Islam has always stressed in the Qu’ran that you should help the poor people, help the needy people - You can even get a child to your house, and give him your fatherly love. What Islam objects to be we cannot legally adopt - you cannot give your name to the child - Legal adoptions are prohibited in Islam.

Legal adoption prohibited

Why?  Because if a person adopts a child legally, there can be several complications.

Point number 1: If the child, whether it is a girl or boy, it will lose its identity.

Point number 2: If suppose after a person adopts a child, He may have his own children - No one can say that he or she will never have children throughout your life. If person have his own children, He will be bias towards your own child, than the adopted child.

Point number  3: If the children born to them  if they are of opposite sex of that of the adopted child, they cannot freely stay in the same house because they are not blood sisters and brothers, to each other. If the adopted child, after he grows up - If it is a girl after she grows up she will have to do Hijab  with the so called father, because he is not his original father. If the man adopted child if it is a boy and he becomes elderly, he becomes a man, and then if he marries - there has to be Hijab between the daughter-in-law, and the so called father. And there are several other reasons and besides that.

    The adopt a child; It will be depriving many of your relatives of their rights. When after a person dies, whatever property he has, is divided according to whatever is mentioned in the Qur’an. If the person has children, and if he adopts a child, but natural he will he will be depriving a share of his own child. If the person if he dies,  if he has a children then the wife will get half the share as she should get , if she has no children, including the mother. If there are children, she gets 1/6 if there are no children, she gets 1/3. If the person adopt a child, you are depriving the share of the mother. So to prevent these complications, legal adoption is prohibited in Islam.
