Adoption is legally defined as permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with one or both parents who were not the true biological parents. Adoption is considered the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the true biological parents and handing over those responsibilities and rights onto the adoptive parents. A number of babies or children are put up for for adoption due to the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to take basic care of their child. Some birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights and their children are placed in foster homes as they were neglected or even abused. The physical incapability to have a biological child is a common or frequent cause for adopting. A desire to adopt can also stem from the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or a preference not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single folks and same sex couples often adopt because of this reason. Methods of legally adopting can be different from country to country. Usually when going to adopt, any prospective adopters will be considered for appropriate suitability.

International adoptions typically are more pricey and ususally incur more costs, like the adopters having to travel to the source country. US citizens represent the largest number of international adopters. Many developed countries have reasonably well proven procedures and rules for out of country adopters to fulfil, while some do not. Adoption policies for each country can differ widely.Any conditions necessary to commence the process of adopting internationally also can vary widely, depending on the nation of the adopters. In the United States, as a general example, typically the number one phase in the process is to find an agency or facilitator to work with. Every agency or facilitator works with a different group of countries, although just some focus all their energy on a lone country.
