Adoption means legally permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with a parent or parental couple who weren't the birth parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the true birth parents and passing those rights & responsibilities onto the adopters. Many babies or children are placed up for for adoption because of the birth parents' decision that they are not able to take good basic care of their baby, toddler or older child. Other birth parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their children are placed into foster homes because they were abused or even abandoned. The physical inability to have a biological child is a frequent or common reason given for adopting. Wanting to adopt can also correspond with the lack of a mate or a preference not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex couples often adopt for this reason. Procedures for adopting deviate from state to state or between countries. Normally when applying to adopt, any prospective adopters will be appraised for appropriateness.

International adoptions frequently are more expensive and also regularly incur other costs, such as the adoptive parents being required to go to the source nation. Citizens of the U.S. represent the largest number of international adopters. Many more developed nations have reasonably well instituted procedures and rules for foreign adopters to abide by, while other nations do not. Adoption policies for each country deviate widely.Any conditions necessary to start the process of adopting internationally also will vary widely, depending on the nation of the adopters. In the US, as a general rule, generally the 1st rung of the process is to select an adoption facilitator or agency to deal with. Every facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, and some focus only on a lone nation.
