Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with a parent or parental couple other than the biological parents. Adoption means the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the biological parents and extending those rights and responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A large number of kids are placed for adoption due to the birth parents' decision that they are unable to adequately take care of their baby or older child. Some true birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights and their child is placed in foster homes because they were neglected, abused or abandoned. The physical incapability to have a biological child is a common or frequent cause given to adopt. The decision to adopt might also stem from the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or the desire not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single folks and same sex couples typically adopt because of this reason. Processes for adopting a child change from state to state or between countries. Typically when going to adopt, the prospective adopters will be evaluated for appropriateness.

Adopting from outside one's country are commonly more pricey and also typically incur other costs, such as the adopters necessarily being required to go to the source country. Citizens of the U.S. represent most of the international adopters. A few more developed nations have reasonably well instituted procedures and rules for out of country adopters to heed, while other nations do not. Adoption regulations for each nation deviate widely.The conditions necessary to begin the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending on the country of the adoptive parents. In the U.S., as a general example, typically the first phase in the process is selecting an agency or facilitator to work with. Every adoption agency or facilitator works with a different group of nations, although just some put their focus on a single nation.
