Foster Care/ Kfala In Egypt, whenever a child is found without parents willing to parent and take care of him. There is a system inspired by the Islamic Sharia’a known as the “Kafala” system. Which is different from “adoption” simply in the way where if the child has known biological parents, he should remain related to them, even if they never meet. Additionally, the child cannot inherit by the power of law, but by a written will from the parents.
