Adoption is a legal act of permanently placing a baby, toddler or older child with one or two parents other than the actual birth parents. Adoption is considered the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the true birth parents and handing over those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. Many, many kids are placed for adoption due to the biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to adequately care for their tyke. A number of birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights so that their kids are placed into foster care since they were neglected or abused. The physical incapability to reproduce and have a biological child is a common cause to adopt. A choice to adopt could also be related to the lack of a marital partner or the desire not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex partners frequently adopt for this very reason. Processes for adopting a child vary from country to country or even between states. Usually when going to adopt, all prospective adopters will be evaluated for suitability.

Adopting internationally frequently are more costly and ususally incur further fees, like the adopters being required to go to the source nation. US citizens represent most of the international adoptive parents. A few more developed nations have fairly well proven rules and procedures for out of country adopters to fulfil, while other nations don't. Adoption policies & procedures for each country will differ widely.The requirements necessary to commence the process of adopting outside the country also can differ widely, depending upon the nation of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as an example, generally the 1st point in the process is to pick an agency or facilitator to work with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with different nations, and other people focus their energy only on a single nation.
