How to locate an Arabic-speaking lawyer familiar with adoptions?
My wife and I are Arab Americans living in Seattle. I have full citizenship at this point but my wife does not yet. My cousin and his wife are Egyptian and she is pregnant. She is very young and they are not financially settled enough to have a baby. They want us to adopt their child and raise him here in the United States. Will we qualify to adopt if my wife is still awaiting citizenship. If not, can I adopt the child in my name? How do we find an Arabic-speaking lawyer familiar with both U.S. and Egyptian law to help us get the child into the United States?
