Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a infant or child with a parent (or parents) who were not the actual biological parents. Adoption gives rise to the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the true biological parents and extending those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. Many youngsters are placed up for for adoption as a result of the true birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately not able to take basic care of their infant. Some percentage of actual biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their child or children are placed into foster care because they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical incapability to have a biological child is a common cause to adopt. The wish to adopt might also stem from the lack of a spouse or partner or prefering not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried people and same sex partners very often adopt for this very reason. Procedures for legally adopting a child deviate from one country to another. Usually when going to adopt, all prospective adoptive parents will be judged for appropriateness.

International adoptions are typically more costly and typically incur other costs, such as the adopters needing to journey to the source nation. People from the U.S. represent most of the international adopters. A number of larger nations have fairly well thought out procedures and rules for foreign adopters to fulfil, while others do not. Adoption regulations for each nation will vary widely.Any requirements needed to begin the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending upon the country of the adopters. In the US, as an example, generally the first stage of the process is to select an agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption agency or facilitator works with a different group of nations, although some focus their energy only on a lone nation.
