Adoption is a legal act of permanently placing a baby or child with one or two parents other than the true biological parents. Adoption produces the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the actual birth parents and putting those responsibilities and rights onto the adoptive parents. A great number of children are placed up for for adoption because of the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unable to take even adequate care of their infant. Other true biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights & their child or children are placed in foster care since they were neglected or abused. The physical incapability to biologically reproduce is a general or common motive given to adopt. A desire to adopt could also be due to the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or a lack of desire to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried people and same sex partners regularly adopt for this reason. Procedures for becoming an adoptive parent can differ from country to country or even between states. Typically when making an application to adopt, the prospective adopters will be considered for appropriateness.

International adoptions usually are more costly and also often incur extra costs, including the adoptive parents having to travel to the source nation. Americans represent the biggest number of international adoptive parents. Some developted nations have fairly well established laws and procedures for out of country adopters to satisfy, while some do not. Adoption rules & regulations for each nation will differ widely.Any requirements needed to begin the process of adopting internationally also deviate widely, depending upon the country of the adopters. In the US, as a general rule, generally the number 1 stage of the process is selecting an facilitator or agency to work with. Every agency or facilitator works with a different group of countries, and a few focus their energy only on a specific nation.
