Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or child with a parent or parental couple who were not the biological parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the true birth parents and passing those responsibilities & rights onto the adopters. Many, many babies or children are put up for for adoption because of the biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to take even adequate care of their baby. Other actual biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their child or children are placed in foster care as they were abused or abandoned. A physical inability to have a biological child is a routine cause to adopt. The wish to adopt may also be due to the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or a lack of desire to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex couples very often adopt because of this. Methods of becoming an adoptive parent can be different from one country to another. Commonly when filling out an application to adopt, the potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country usually are more costly and often incur additional fees, like these: the adopters having to travel to the source country. U.S. citizens represent the majority of international adopters. Many large countries have reasonably well proven rules and procedures for foreign adopters to cope with, while other countries do not. Adoption policies and procedures for each country vary widely.Any conditions needed to start the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending on the country of the adoptive parents. In the US, as an example, typically the number one phase of the process is choosing an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with. Every facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and many focus their energy only on a lone nation.
