Adoption is a legal act meaning permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with one or both parents who were not the actual biological parents. Adoption causes the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the birth parents and assigning those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. A number of children are placed for adoption because of the true biological parents' decision that they are unfortunately not able to take good basic care of their infant or child. A number of actual biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their kids are placed in foster care as they were abused, neglected or abandoned. The physical inability to reproduce biologically is a normal basis given for adopting. A decision to adopt can also be due to the lack of a spouse or a decision not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single people and same sex couples often adopt because of this reason. Processes for legally adopting can vary from country to country. Normally when going to adopt, any prospective adoptive parents will be judged for suitability.

International adoptions typically are more costly and often incur more costs, including the adoptive parents needing to go to the source nation. American citizens represent most of the international adoptive parents. A few large countries have relatively well thought out laws and rules for foreign adopters to go along with, while some don't. Adoption rules and regulations for each nation can vary widely.The requirements needed to begin the process of adopting internationally also differ widely, depending upon the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as an example, typically the initial point of the process is to choose an agency or facilitator to deal with. Every adoption agency or facilitator works with a different set of countries, although many place their focus on a single nation.
