Answer 1

ha u adopting your kids call yourself fit.

Answer 2

I'm Muslim. Yes you'll need to cover your entire body in front of the boy because he is not mahram for you. You'll need to cover everything in front of him when he reaches the age of 14 because he's an adult in Islam at 14. The girl when she gets her first period will need to cover her entire body in front of your bio sons and your husband. She's an adult in Islam as soon as she gets her first period because her body is able to bear children and give birth. The children should be raised in Islam since their Muslims by birth(religion of the father).  You can't change the last name of the children in Islam. This is haraam(Forbidden) because Islam values the idenitity of the children and that is their tie their bio parents.  It is their right and the will of God and the law in Islam not to change an adopted child's last name.  They will not be mahram to your or your husband and can marry your bio children because the bio children are not related to them.  They can share a room in Islam until one reaches the age of 7.  Then they have to have seperate rooms.  They will also be required to know they are adopted at the age of 7 years old so they know you aren't their real parents.  As soon as the girl gets her period she is allowed to get married if that is her choice in Islam. Islam gives her that right and you can't stop her.

Answer 3

yes you have to cover up yourself with hidjab and so do your daughter.because you and your husband has no blood tie relationship with the adopted kids.this is well discussed in islam.

Answer 4

What the previous two answerers said is true. I just want to add one thing that if you have a baby and adopt a baby and you breastfeed them together then they become brothers/sisters and you become somewhat equivalent to their mother. If this happens you do not have to cover in front of them when they reach puberty and they do not have to cover in front of their brother/sister that they nursed with, but they still have to cover in front of your other children whom they did not nurse with as they can get married to them and they still have to cover in front of your husband.

I heard recently of a couple in England that got divorced after they discovered that they are brother and sister. They were adopted by different families and had different last names. In Islam adopted children should keep their last name and know who their biological father and mother.

Answer 5

Some Muslims don't do all that even when not in an adoption situation.
