Adoption means legally permanently placing a child of any age with a parent or parents who were not the actual biological parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the true biological parents and passing those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. Numerous children, no matter their ages, are placed up for for adoption because of the actual birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately not able to take good basic care of their tike. Some true biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights & their child or children are placed into foster care since they were abused, neglected or abandoned. The lack of ability to biologically reproduce is a frequent reason to adopt. The desire to adopt may also stem from the lack of a marital partner or prefering not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Unmarried people and same sex partners sometimes adopt because of this. Methods of adopting will vary from between states or countries. Commonly when applying to adopt, any potential adopters will be judged for appropriate suitability.

People from the U.S. represent the biggest number of international adoptive parents.

Adoption regulations for each country will differ widely.The requirements needed to start the process of international adoption also vary widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents. In the U.S., as a general example, typically the initial stage of the process is to choose an agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of countries, although other people put their focus on a specific country.
