Breaking the Stigma

Adoption is stigmatized in Egypt

A woman really wanted to have a child and be a mother but unfortunately, she can’t have children so, she decides to adopt. But the problem is she lives in Egypt, and she is scared of what people might say so tells everyone she is pregnant and disappears for the standard duration of pregnancy and then she appears again with a newborn adopted baby, but she tells everyone it is her biological child.

Life After Adoption

It's not always rainbows and butterflies. The real struggle begins after the adoption process is completed.

Procedures of Kafala

A long, yet fruitful journey.
