Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the biological parents. Adoption means the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the biological parents and ascribing those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. Many youngsters are put up for for adoption as a result of the true biological parents' decision that they are unable to adequately take care of their baby or older child. Other true birth parents involuntarily lose their parental rights and their child or children are placed in foster homes since they were abused or even abandoned. A physical incapability to biologically reproduce is a common or frequent reason given to adopt. The decision to adopt can also correspond with the lack of a spouse or partner or the desire not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single folks and same sex couples typically adopt for this reason. Processes for legally adopting a child will vary from one country to another. Ordinarily when applying to adopt, any potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability and appropriateness.

A few developted nations have comparatively well established rules and procedures for foreign adopters to heed, while other countries don't. Adoption regulations for each nation vary widely.Requirements needed to start the process of adopting internationally also can differ widely, depending upon the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general rule, generally the 1st step of the process is to find an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with.
