“Ramadan brings charity to Egypt's orphans.” Shanghai Star

“A Child by Any Other Name,” by Réhab El-Bakry. Egypt Today
(11/2002) - "According to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, securing custody of Egyptian orphans is extremely difficult, as adoption is essentially illegal in Egypt.
The U. S. Embassy in Cairo has no authority to intervene in Egyptian court proceedings on behalf of an American couple who wants to adopt an abandoned Egyptian child. Only a legal counselor knowledgeable in Egyptian family law will be able to provide up to date and accurate information regarding the proper procedure for acquiring custody of and/or adopting a child." From the US State Dept - Article “Home Alone” (has info/statistics on Egypt Orphans) - http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2004/685/feature.htm
“According to Abdallah the number of legitimate orphanages -- those governed or founded by NGOs and monitored by the Ministry of
Social Affairs -- stands at 232, in addition to 62 residential nurseries that cater for children up to the age of six. The total number of orphans
in Egypt currently stands at 7,837, with those in boarding nurseries totalling 1,423." - Lutheran Media - 6 Evangelical orphanages in Egypt - http://www.lutheranmedia.net/egypt/facts.htm
