Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with one or both parents other than the true biological parents. Adoption gives rise to the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the biological parents and putting those rights and responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A large number of babies or children are placed for adoption due to the actual biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to take even adequate care of their baby. A few actual birth parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights & their child or children are placed in foster homes as they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical inability to have a biological child is a frequent or common motive given to adopt. The wish to adopt might also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or partner or a decision not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single individuals and same sex partners typically adopt for this very reason. Methods of adopting a child will differ from one country to another. Usually when making an application to adopt, any potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for appropriate suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country are often more costly and often incur more fees, including the adopters being required to journey to the source country. People from the U.S. represent the major share of international adopters. Some more developed nations have relatively well instituted rules and procedures for foreign adopters to go along with, while other nations do not. Adoption procedures for each nation can differ widely.Requirements needed to begin the process of international adoption also can vary widely, depending upon the nation of the adopters. In america, as an example, typically the number one stage of the process is choosing an adoption agency or facilitator to work with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, and just a few focus their energy only on a single country.
