It weaves general notions about international adoption in Brazil, a brief explanation of how its legal nature is governed and clarifies frequent doubts about how the whole process works. The article focuses on explaining the Brazilian rule that prevents the adoption of Syrian children from materializing, presents the laws of the Haia Convention, to which Brazil is a signatory, and directly affects this impediment and clarifies the Islamic laws that directly influence the that this process is not possible. Clarifies the justifications for which these rules and laws were implemented by the Brazilian government, in order to avoid problems such as child trafficking. The publication also briefly tells about the author’s work with orphaned Syrian children, who take refuge in cities in Lebanon.
