Adoption is a legal act of permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the actual biological parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the birth parents and placing those responsibilities and rights onto the adopters. A lot of youngsters are put up for for adoption because of the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to care adequately for their child. Some percentage of actual birth parents involuntarily lose their parental rights and their child or children are placed in foster homes because they were neglected, abused or abandoned. The lack of ability to have a biological child is a frequent or common cause for adopting. The wish to adopt may also be related to the lack of a mate or partner or a lack of desire to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried folks and same sex couples regularly adopt because of this reason. Methods of becoming an adoptive parent will vary from country to country. Commonly when filling out an application to adopt, all prospective adoptive parents will be evaluated for appropriate suitability.

American citizens represent the largest number of international adopters. Many larger countries have relatively well established laws, rules and procedures for out of country adopters to carry out, while some do not. Adoption rules & regulations for each nation can vary widely.The conditions needed to start the process of international adoption also will vary widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents.
