Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with one or both parents who were not the actual birth parents. Adoption gives rise to the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the true birth parents and ascribing those responsibilities and rights onto the adopters. Many children are placed for adoption due to the actual biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to take even adequate care of their infant or child. Occasionally biological parents forcibly lose their parental rights so that their child or children are placed in foster homes since they were neglected or even abused. The physical inability to reproduce and have a biological child is a routine motive given for adopting. A choice to adopt could also stem from the lack of a marital partner or a decision not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single people and same sex couples typically adopt for this very reason. Methods of adopting change from between states or countries. Ordinarily when filling out an application to adopt, any prospective adopters will be appraised for appropriateness.

International adoptions are usually more expensive and also very often incur extra costs, such as the adopters necessarily being required to travel to the source country. Citizens of the U.S. represent the vast majority of international adopters. Some countries have fairly well founded laws and procedures for out of country adopters to carry out, while other nations don't. Adoption rules and regulations for each nation differ widely.The conditions needed to begin the process of international adoption also can vary widely, depending on the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general example, generally the first phase of the process is finding an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption agency or facilitator works with a different set of countries, although some focus only on a specific country.
