Adoption Is Haraam?

i recently heard this and cant believe it might actually be true :shock:

apparently it is haraam in islam to adopt a child and give them your 'name', when they are not actually your child (i have heard only fostering a child is allowed)

is this true???

i really hope its not, i had big plans for the future with me and my adopted kids Biggrin
