A friend of a friend works with such an NGO, social work I mean and he told my friend that these children get Qatari citizenship as well as very good benifits. He said the orphanges have five start facilities and these children are sent to the best schools in town. Yeah Mimi, same thing here expats cannot adopt these kids, only the locals can but under the condition that they won't give their family name to the child and the child should be aware that he is not a member of that family and that he is an orphan. Also the adopted child won't be entitled to any inheritence whatsoever..
