Not sure if you will find your answer here. This is a US immigration site, not an Islamic adoption site. Are you wanting to bring this child to the US? You can't just hand over a child to someone living in the US and get them a visa. You need a legal adoption and something like that wouldn't be legal in the US. If this involves you, and you are living in the US, you need to contact an adoption attorney.

I'm not looking for somebody to hand over a child. I am wondering about the process which would be an immigration issue because Yemen is not listed on the Hague convention treaty for adoption. And since the Yemeni Interior Ministry contacts are not available due to the unrest,I was wondering if some of the women or men that are married to Yemeni or from Yemen would know how to get in touch with a ministry that would know the answer.
