Adoption is a legal act meaning permanently placing a baby or child with a parent or parents other than the true biological parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the true birth parents and handing over those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. Many, many babies or children are placed for adoption as a result of the true birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to care adequately for their infant or child. A number of actual biological parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights & their kids are placed in foster care since they were abused or abandoned. The physical inability to reproduce and have a biological child is a frequent basis given for adopting. The choice to adopt may also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or a lack of desire to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single folks and same sex partners typically adopt for this reason. Processes for adopting a child can be different from state to state or between countries. Typically when making an application to adopt, any prospective adopters will be evaluated for suitability and appropriateness.

Adopting from outside one's country tend to be more expensive and very frequently incur further fees, like the adoptive parents being required to travel to the source country. Citizens of the US represent most of the international adopters. A number of larger nations have reasonably well proven laws and rules for foreign adopters to meet, while some do not. Adoption policies & procedures for each country vary widely.Any requirements needed to start the process of international adoption also differ widely, depending upon the country of the adopters. In the U.S., as a general example, usually the initial stage in the process is to select an adoption facilitator or agency to work with. Each agency or facilitator works with different nations, and a select few focus all their energy on a specific nation.
