Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent (or parents) who weren't the true birth parents. Adoption brings about the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the true biological parents and handing over those rights and responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A great number of youngsters are placed for adoption due to the birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately not able to adequately take care of their toddler. Occasionally true biological parents involuntarily lose their parental rights so that their child is placed into foster homes because they were neglected or even abused. A physical incapability to biologically have a child is a frequent cause given for adopting. A desire to adopt may also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or partner or a preference not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Unmarried individuals and same sex couples regularly adopt for this reason. Procedures for legally adopting vary from one nation to another. Generally when filling out an application to adopt, any potential adopters will be assessed for suitability and appropriateness.

International adoptions are typically more high-priced and frequently incur other costs, including the adopters needing to travel to the source country. U.S. citizens represent the largest number of international adoptive parents. Many larger nations have relatively well thought out laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to fulfil, while other nations don't. Adoption rules and regulations for each country can differ widely.Any requirements necessary to start the process of adopting outside the country also deviate widely, depending upon the nation of the adoptive parents. In the US, as a general example, generally the 1st stage in the process is finding an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with. Every adoption agency or facilitator works with different countries, and just some focus all their energy on a single nation.
