Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a baby or older child with parents who weren't the true birth parents. Adoption causes the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the birth parents and assigning those responsibilities and rights onto the adopters. A large number of children, no matter their ages, are placed for adoption due to the true biological parents' decision that they are unfortunately unable to adequately care for their toddler. Some biological parents involuntarily lose their parental rights and their kids are placed into foster homes as they were abused or even abandoned. The physical incapability to have a biological child is a frequent reason given to adopt. A choice to adopt may also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or the desire not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex couples often adopt for this reason. Methods of legally adopting a child can vary from state to state or between countries. Commonly when going to adopt, all prospective adopters will be evaluated for suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country are usually more costly and regularly incur extra fees, including the adopters necessarily being required to go to the source nation. American citizens represent the major share of international adopters. Some large countries have fairly well founded laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to meet, while some do not. Adoption policies for each country will vary widely.The conditions necessary to commence the process of adopting outside the country also deviate widely, depending on the country of the adopters. In the U.S., as a general rule, usually the number 1 step in the process is to select an adoption facilitator or agency to deal with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and a select few put their focus on a lone nation.
