Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or older child with one or both parents other than the true birth parents. Adoption generates the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the actual biological parents and assigning those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A great number of babies or children are placed up for for adoption as a result of the actual birth parents' decision that they are unable to take good basic care of their baby or child. Other biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their child is placed into foster care because they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical inability to biologically reproduce is a routine motive given to adopt. The decision to adopt may also be related to the lack of a marital partner or a preference not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex partners very often adopt for this reason. Processes for adopting a child can be different from state to state or between countries. Generally when filling out an application to adopt, the potential adoptive parents will be considered for suitability.

Adopting internationally are often more high-priced and regularly incur more fees, such as the adoptive parents being required to travel to the source country. U.S. citizens represent the largest number of international adopters. A number of more developed nations have fairly well established laws and rules for out of country adopters to abide by, while other countries don't. Adoption procedures for each nation deviate widely.Any conditions necessary to start the process of adopting internationally also differ widely, depending upon the nation of the adopters. In the U.S., as a general rule, usually the number 1 stage of the process is to find an facilitator or agency to work with. Each adoption agency or facilitator works with different countries, although a few focus all their energy on a specific country.
