Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or child with one or two parents other than the actual biological parents. Adoption brings about the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the biological parents and giving over those rights & responsibilities onto the adopters. Many, many kids are placed for adoption due to the birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unable to take basic care of their child. Occasionally birth parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights and their child is placed in foster care as they were abused or abandoned. The physical inability to reproduce biologically is a standard basis for adopting. The wish to adopt may also be accompanied by the lack of a partner of the opposite sex or deciding not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried people and same sex partners often adopt for this very reason. Processes for becoming a legal adoptive parent will vary from country to country. Normally when filling out an application to adopt, any prospective adoptive parents will be judged for suitability and appropriateness.
