Adoption is the term for permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with a parent or parental couple other than the true birth parents. Adoption brings about the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the birth parents and assigning those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. A great number of babies or children are placed for adoption because of the actual birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to adequately care for their baby. Some percentage of true biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their kids are placed in foster homes since they were abused, abandoned or neglected. A physical incapability to reproduce biologically is a common or frequent motive given for adopting. The wish to adopt can also be accompanied by the lack of a mate or deciding not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex partners very often adopt for this reason. Processes for adopting can be different from country to country. Typically when filling out an application to adopt, the potential adopters will be evaluated for appropriateness.

International adoptions are commonly more pricey and also frequently incur additional fees, such as the adopters having to go to the source nation. US citizens represent the largest number of international adopters. A few larger countries have moderately well thought out rules and procedures for out of country adopters to satisfy, while some don't. Adoption policies for each nation can vary widely.Requirements necessary to start the process of adopting outside the country also vary widely, depending upon the nation of the adoptive parents. In the US, as an example, typically the number 1 stage in the process is to select an adoption facilitator or agency to work with. Every facilitator or agency works with different nations, and a few focus their energy only on a specific country.
