Adoption is a legal act of permanently placing a child of any age with a parent (or parents) who were not the true birth parents. Adoption is considered the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the actual birth parents and ascribing those responsibilities & rights onto the adopters. Many kids are placed for adoption because of the biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to take even adequate care of their child. A number of actual biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their child is placed in foster care as they were abused or abandoned. A physical incapability to biologically have a child is a normal cause to adopt. Wanting to adopt might also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or a lack of desire to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single individuals and same sex partners typically adopt for this very reason. Procedures for legally adopting a child can be different from one nation to another. Typically when filling out an application to adopt, the prospective adopters will be assessed for suitability and appropriateness.

Adopting from outside one's country are typically more costly and also very often incur other fees, such as the adopters having to go to the source nation. Americans represent the biggest number of international adopters. A number of larger nations have relatively well proven laws and procedures for foreign adopters to follow, while others don't. Adoption regulations for each country will differ widely.Requirements necessary to start the process of adopting outside the country also can vary widely, depending on the country of the adopters. In the US, as an example, usually the first stage in the process is to choose an agency or facilitator to deal with. Every facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and some focus all their energy on a lone nation.
