Adoption is a legal act meaning permanently placing a child of any age with one or both parents who weren't the birth parents. Adoption means the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the actual birth parents and ascribing those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. A great number of children are placed for adoption due to the birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately not able to take basic care of their baby or older child. Some true biological parents involuntarily lose their parental rights & their children are placed in foster care because they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical inability to reproduce biologically is a frequent or common basis for adopting. A decision to adopt may also be related to the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or a preference not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex couples sometimes adopt for this reason. Procedures for becoming an adoptive parent can vary from between states or countries. Ordinarily when making an application to adopt, all potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability and appropriateness.

International adoptions are typically more pricey and frequently incur additional fees, including the adoptive parents being required to travel to the source nation. Americans represent the largest number of international adopters. Many large nations have reasonably well thought out laws and rules for foreign adopters to satisfy, while others do not. Adoption rules and regulations for each country deviate widely.The conditions needed to commence the process of adopting outside the country also will differ widely, depending on the nation of the adopters. In the U.S., as a general example, usually the first point of the process is selecting an facilitator or agency to work with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and a few put their focus on a single country.
