Adoption is termed the legal act of permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the actual birth parents. Adoption effectuates the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the birth parents and putting those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. A number of babies or children are put up for for adoption because of the true birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unable to adequately care for their baby. Some percentage of true birth parents involuntarily lose their parental rights & their child is placed in foster care because they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical inability to biologically have a child is a routine cause given to adopt. A decision to adopt may also stem from the lack of a mate or partner or deciding not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single people and same sex couples sometimes adopt for this very reason. Processes for legally adopting can vary from state to state or between countries. Normally when going to adopt, any potential adopters will be assessed for suitability and appropriateness.

Adopting from outside one's country tend to be more high-priced and regularly incur extra costs, such as the adoptive parents needing to travel to the source nation. American citizens represent the majority of international adoptive parents. Many larger countries have relatively well founded laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to cope with, while other countries do not. Adoption policies for each country can vary widely.Any conditions needed to start the process of adopting internationally also can differ widely, depending on the nation of the adopters. In the United States, as a general example, typically the initial point in the process is finding an agency or facilitator to deal with. Each agency or facilitator works with a different set of countries, and a few focus all their energy on a single nation.
