Hi,
Im new in this forum. Im married but separated with my husband.
Due to shocking and bitter separation recently, im in a situation i could call as depression. I feel so lonely and hating myself for no reason. Im about to open a ladies salon in Ajman but due to termendous stress my husband left me for another woman. I dont have any friend in dubai since i moved from Abu Dhabi a year ago. So, if im not working i will just spending my time alone at home. I have been married for more than 6 years but i dont have any kid. I tried to concieve many years, i tried iui and ivf few times but no luck. However my desire to have a child never stop. I will be 45 this year. Sometimes i blame for my late marriage but i cant blame myself forever. Since my husband left me few months ago i feel very lonely. However i still wanted to have a child to make me happy. So im thinking about adoption. Please advise me in this case, is it possible to be done here in uae? FYI im holding my own visa as a business partner. I believe my divorce will be finalised soon. Is it possible to adopt as a single parent here in uae? Thanks in advance.

Tell me how are you doing? What country are you from? Have you managed to get custody of the child? My wife and I are now at the very beginning of the journey. We live in the United States and so far we have only studied the requirements for foster parents. Our laws impose quite serious requirements on those who want to adopt a child. Now we have contacted <a href="https://fosterplus.org>local fostering agencies"</a> . We were told that they would help with the paperwork. Are there similar agencies in Dubai? Perhaps you should also contact specialists and they will be able to help you.

Yes your informTion is matched with the info i got from my local sponsor recently. Its really upset me each time i read bad news about new born babies killed by their own mother. I mean, im here, im willing to take the innocent baby. I think the adoption rules should be loosen up to stop the killing of innocent baby just because its illegal baby. To be honest, the divorce rate is very high here in uae among expats. Thats the info i got from the counseling session. But i cant let my body forever as a punching bag. Nowadays im concertrating for the opening of my ladies salon very soon. Yes i hope new life will be better for me as a single woman. I feel stronger even im alone without a man whom i called husband.

I'm sorry for what happened to your marriage. As to your question I don't have any idea I just comment coz I feel bad for you I know the feeling of you want a chils so bad but you can't. I also don...
Thank so much for your kind words. Really appreciate it. In my country its possible to adopt from the birth for a single parent but the authority will visit the residence and also checking every information about the parent to be total income and expenses. Also they might interview the close relatives. I tried once but no luck since the baby's mom is in different religion. Im nit allowed to change the baby religion until she/he reached 18yrs old. I really wanted to have a child. When i read in the news new born baby killed by the mother i feel like i will be crazy. But i dont question God. I believe God has the best reason. You may reach me at if im allowed to post my mobile number.

"Adoptions" (really guardianships under shar'ia law) for emirati single mothers is now allowed and becoming more common. With this in mind I do not see why an expat would not be able to adopt as a single mother, but I would advise you to do in your home country. Good luck andI am sorry about your husband, he treated you poorly however so while you may not feel it now, he is a waste of energy and you are indeed better off. You will see this soon enough I hope.
