Adoption is the term for permanently placing a child of any age with a parent or parental couple other than the birth parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the birth parents and placing those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A large number of children are put up for for adoption because of the actual birth parents' decision that they are not able to take good care of their baby or older child. A number of biological parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their child is placed in foster homes since they were abused or neglected. The physical incapability to biologically reproduce is a typical reason given for adopting. The wish to adopt could also correspond with the lack of a spouse or partner or a preference not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex partners regularly adopt because of this reason. Procedures for adopting can vary from state to state or between countries. Normally when applying to adopt, the prospective adopters will be assessed for suitability.

Adopting internationally usually are more pricey and very often incur additional costs, including the adopters having to go to the source nation. Citizens of the US represent the major share of international adopters. A number of developed countries have fairly well instituted procedures and rules for foreign adopters to fulfil, while others don't. Adoption policies for each nation differ widely.Any conditions needed to start the process of adopting internationally also will vary widely, depending on the country of the adoptive parents. In america, as a general example, typically the initial phase of the process is to choose an agency or facilitator to deal with. Each agency or facilitator works with a different group of nations, although some put their focus on a lone nation.
