Adoption means legally permanently placing a baby or child with one or two parents who weren't the true birth parents. Adoption causes the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the birth parents and ascribing those responsibilities and rights onto the adoptive parents. Numerous babies or children are placed for adoption because of the birth parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to take basic care of their infant. Occasionally biological parents forcibly lose their parental rights so that their child is placed into foster care because they were abused, abandoned or neglected. The physical incapability to reproduce biologically is a typical reason given to adopt. The decision to adopt may also correspond with the lack of a marital partner or desiring not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single individuals and same sex partners often adopt because of this reason. Procedures for becoming an adoptive parent change from country to country or even between states. Generally when applying to adopt, any prospective adoptive parents will be assessed for suitability.

Adopting internationally usually are more expensive and also regularly incur further costs, like these: the adoptive parents having to journey to the source nation. Citizens of the US represent the largest number of international adoptive parents. Some large countries have relatively well thought out laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to conform to, while others do not. Adoption regulations for each country will differ widely.The conditions necessary to start the process of adopting internationally also will differ widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents. In the U.S., as a general rule, usually the number one rung in the process is to choose an agency or facilitator to work with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of countries, although many put their focus on a single country.
