Mayflower3

I am a Canadian foreigner with a 2 year old Canadian daughter, I recently married a Bahraini man, and will get my Bahraini nationality, but because my daughter is not his biological daughter I’m worried how to get her nationality as well ?

This is not straightforward.   For Bahrain, the biological father has to be Bahraini to get nationality.  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.  This topic comes up frequently in Parliment.
