Hardly anyone had any idea the couple was expecting their second baby.
They have an older daughter, Princess Jaliah.

We have an official confirmation by the royal house that Prince Ali and Princess Rym had a baby-boy on March 19th 2007.
I am positive that it was a birth announcement and not an adoption.
They always announce the births of their own biological children and don't announce an adoption so officially.
Lots of Jordanian Royals adopted children (f.e. King Hussein and Queen Alia and also Princess Zein and her husband have an adopted daughter) and they have always been open about that fact. It is wellknown.

Sometimes pregnancy is not very visible (and sometimes women get full-born children without even knowing themselves that they were pregnant).
I don't say that that is the case of Princess Rym but on a picture of July 2005 ( in a light-blue dress)she did not look so pregnant either and Jalila was born on September 16th 2005

I know from jordanian friends that there were rumors in Jordan that Princess Rym and Princess Noor were/are pregnant.
There was never an official announcement of their pregnancies.

The Jordan Times specifically mentioned that Princess Rym had given birth to a son in their "At a Glance" section on March 20. I read the brief article myself. I wish I had saved it.

The adopted daughter of the late King Hussein and the late Queen Alia is miss Abir Muhaisen.
The adopted daughter of Princess Zein and Sayyid al Saleh is miss Tahani al Shahwan. Their own biological children are twins: Jaa'far (boy) and Jumana (girl)

Adoption in an islamic country is quite different from adoption in the european sense where the child gets the name of the parents that have adopted him. It is miss Abir Muhaisen raised by King Hussein and Queen Alia (never Princess Abir)
The child keeps the name of the biological father.
If Prince Abdullah bin Ali would have been adopted he never would have been Prince Abdullah bin Ali but Abdullah surname of his biological father, raised by Prince Ali bin Hussein and Princess Rym Ali
