Amal And George Clooney Are Not Planning To Adopt A Child From Syria
Amal and George Clooney are not adopting a child. The couple's rep has denied that the recently married couple is adopting a child from a war-torn country.
According to "Gravity" star's rep, the story is "100% fabricated," reported Aceshowbiz. Daily Mail had previously reported that George and Amal wanted to adopt a child to "highlight the plight of orphans" in countries like Syria. The Clooney couple's decision to adopt a child was said to be inspired from Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie, who are parents to three adopted children namely, Maddox, Pax and Zahara.
However, it does not seem that Oscar winning actor and his Lawyer wife are currently thinking of child adoption. Moreover, according to Examiner it is not legal to adopt a child from Syria, so the Clooney couple may have never planned adopting a child from that country. As stated further by the website, according to U.S. Embassy "Shari'ah law does not recognize or provide for adoptions for Muslim children."
Amal and George got married in September in Italy. The celebrations continued for four-days and couple made the nuptial official in a €600 civil ceremony. The duo reportedly met in 2013, through a common friend. They were first seen together in October 2013 and got engaged in April.

I would just like to say to my bride-to-be, Amal, that I love you very much and I can't wait to be your husband," he said about Amal to ET Online.
