Description:
The Prophet Muhammad once said that a person who cares for an orphaned child will be in Paradise with him, and motioned to show that they would be as close as two fingers of a single hand. An orphan himself, Muhammad paid special attention to the care of children. He himself adopted a former slave and raised him with the same care as if he were his own son.
(Qur'an 33:4-5)
The guardian/child relationship has specific rules under Islamic law, which render the relationship a bit different than what is common adoption practice today. The Islamic term for what is commonly called adoption is kafala, which comes from a word that means "to feed." In essence, it describes more of a foster-parent relationship. Some of the rules in Islam surrounding this relationship:
An adopted child retains his or her own biological family name (surname) and does not change his or her name to match that of the adoptive family.
An adopted child inherits from his or her biological parents, not automatically from the adoptive parents.
When the child is grown, members of the adoptive family are not considered blood relatives, and are therefore not muhrim to him or her. "Muhrim" refers to a specific legal relationship that regulates marriage and other aspects of life. Essentially, members of the adoptive family would be permissible as possible marriage partners, and rules of modesty exist between the grown child and adoptive family members of the opposite sex.
If the child is provided with property/wealth from the biological family, adoptive parents are commanded to take care and not intermingle that property/wealth with their own. They serve merely as trustees.
"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? And He found you wandering, and He gave you guidance. And He found you in need, and made you independent. Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, nor drive away a petitioner (unheard). But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!"
(Qur'an 93:6-11)

Well, what else can we expect from a demented pedophile, plagiarizer and criminal like Mohammed (eternal torment be upon this swine)?

the fact that adopted children are not considered automatically part of the legitimate blood line is the problem

the child is not considered part of the blood line and can not take the adoptive parents last name

yes, so? I don't see it as a problem. look how many adoptees are looking for their real parents later and they don't even know their real name!do you really think it's fair?Islamic legislation would have prevented that

Taking an orphan in your home and care about him and his needs is a wonderful thing but the truth is that no one can replace the natural father and mother. Changing the name of the child does not change realities, alter facts, it cannot make the blood of a man run in the veins of the adopted son (or daughter)

In Islam most of "allah's", "revelations" suspiciously come after the occurence of an event.
