Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with a parent or parents other than the actual biological parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the biological parents and the placing of those rights & responsibilities onto the adopters. A large number of children are put up for for adoption because of the actual biological parents' decision that they are unable to take good care of their infant. A few actual biological parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights & their child is placed in foster care as they were abused or even abandoned. The lack of ability to biologically reproduce is a standard cause for adopting. A desire to adopt might also stem from the lack of a mate or partner or a lack of desire to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single folks and same sex partners frequently adopt because of this. Processes for adopting a child can differ from one country to another. Generally when filling out an application to adopt, any prospective adoptive parents will be assessed for suitability and appropriateness.

International adoptions usually are more costly and also very often incur more costs, including the adopters necessarily being required to go to the source country. Americans represent the vast majority of international adopters. A number of larger countries have relatively well instituted laws and rules for out of country adopters to follow, while other nations don't. Adoption policies for each country deviate widely.The conditions needed to begin the process of adopting outside the country also will vary widely, depending on the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general rule, usually the first phase in the process is selecting an agency or facilitator to work with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, and some focus only on a lone nation.
