I am a newly registered long time viewer and have recently read ur answer 2 da question regarding adoption where it is stated that an adopted child does not become a mehram.

Bismihi Ta'ala

The fact that adopted child doesn't become a Mahram should not discourage one from adopting. If we can be means of making a childs life better, then this should be undertaken.

And Allah knows best.
