I am a Muslim living in Philadelphia. I have a cousin who lives in Algeria who is also Muslim. He recently lost his parents to an accident and now is being cared for by family friends. I want to bring him here to the U.S. and adopt him so he can remain here and get an education. If I adopt him my employer will provide health insurance coverage for him as my dependent. What are the laws in Pennsylvania regarding adoption of a foreign minor citizen? If this type of adoption is legal, how do I locate a qualified Muslim attorney to assist me with this process?
