I know the Muslim countries of the Middle East do not allow adoption to people who aren't relatives of the children. |

Not all countries have international adoption programs, and so it would in most cases be illegal to adopt children out abroad. Exceptions are still often made for adoption by biological relatives, even those living overseas.
Also, not all countries have the same process of formal adoption with the accompanying legal status in the family. (Particularly in the less secular Islamic countries, adoption is viewed very differently.) It's not necessarily illegal, it's just not an available option.
But there is no country where there does not exist ANY process or understanding by which a child who needs a home could be raised in either a family other than the biological one or by non-parent relatives. Informal adoption or custody transfers would exist if nothing else, particularly within the extended family and/or village. |

Each country is allowed to make it's own determinations on adoption, especially whether or not to allow foreign adoption. I know that some countries only allow those with their heritage to adopt from that country or are given first preference.
The best place to find out whether or not a country will allow adoption is adoption.state.gov

ps, countries are constantly changing their minds and processes on who can and can't adopt from their country and the specific process for an adoption. |
