Adoption is the term for permanently placing a child of any age with parents who were not the birth parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the birth parents and placing those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A large number of babies or children are put up for for adoption because of the biological parents' decision that they are not able to take basic care of their baby, toddler or older child. Some true birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights so that their kids are placed in foster care because they were neglected or abused. A physical inability to biologically have a child is a routine reason given for adopting. Wanting to adopt may also be accompanied by the lack of a mate or partner or a preference not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Unmarried people and same sex couples often adopt because of this. Methods of becoming a legal adoptive parent change from one country to another. Ordinarily when going to adopt, the potential adoptive parents will be assessed for suitability.
