I am not muslim but found this explanation:

Per some Islamic scholars, no fertility treatments are allowed unless both husband and wife are in agreement and are pursuing it together. Donor sperm are not allowed because Islam puts a high priority on preserving family lineage, which is confused when another man's sperm is introduced to the marriage. For the same reason, adoption is not permitted. It is also considered to be akin to adultery to have another man's sperm introduced to a wife's body.


So yeah - that's what I read about it. I don't want to criticize your religion but most religious have some crazy rules - I think this is an example of one of them. Do you think your child would be "confused" who his parents are? My son is adopted and we're not confused at all.
