Adoption is termed legally as permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the biological parents. Adoption effectuates the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the true biological parents and placing those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. Many children, no matter their ages, are placed for adoption due to the biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to take even adequate care of their infant or child. Some biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their child or children are placed in foster care since they were abused, abandoned or neglected. The physical inability to reproduce and have a biological child is a normal reason for adopting. The wish to adopt may also correspond with the lack of a marital partner or desiring not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single folks and same sex partners very often adopt for this reason. Procedures for adopting can differ from one country to another. Usually when applying to adopt, all prospective adopters will be appraised for suitability and appropriateness.

Adopting internationally are often more high-priced and very frequently incur other fees, including the adoptive parents having to travel to the source nation. U.S. citizens represent the majority of international adopters. A few more developed nations have moderately well instituted laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to satisfy, while other countries do not. Adoption regulations for each country can vary widely.Any conditions necessary to begin the process of adopting outside the country also deviate widely, depending upon the nation of the adopters. In the United States, as an example, generally the number 1 rung of the process is finding an facilitator or agency to work with. Every facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and many only focus on a specific nation.
