bringing orphans to England

[Aysan]

I've recently been to Morocco for the second time to do volunteering with homeless children. One of these children is a girl whose aged 6, she has severe disabilities and is mostly paralyzed. In the year since I've been, her situation has got worse and shes so poorly looked after in the Orphanage that it breaks my heart. I need to know if there's any way i can get her to England? Or anything at all i can do for her. I would love to adopt her and they said i am allowed to, however i am in no position to as i am a lodger in a house and cannot yet afford my own place. I am a British Citizen and also a full time Primary School teacher. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately the UKVI do not take kindly to those who adopt in order to bring children to the UK.

Perhaps campaigning for a better orphanage in Morocco, as I'm sure there are many other such children.

If you are set on adopting then see https://www.gov.uk/child-adoption/adopt ... m-overseas

There is quite a lot of procedure to go through.

The little girl has probably been abandoned by her family rather than orphaned. That could be because the mother was unmarried or her family felt she would get better medical treatment in the orphanage.

Adoptive parents are entitled to paid adoption leave, but it is still difficult financially for most.
