This is not straightforward.聽聽For Bahrain, the biological father has to be Bahraini to get nationality.聽 For adopted children (and spouses), getting nationality is a long process and with no guarantee of success - expect to wait 10 to 15 years (Spouses, around 5 years). As an example, there are children from Bahraini mothers, who were born here and lived their whole life here.........and still don't have the nationality.聽 This topic comes up frequently in Parliment.
