Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with one or two parents other than the actual birth parents. Adoption brings about the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the true biological parents and the placing of those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. Numerous babies or children are put up for for adoption as a result of the actual birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unable to take even adequate care of their toddler. Occasionally birth parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights and their children are placed in foster homes as they were neglected or even abused. The lack of ability to biologically reproduce is a common basis to adopt. The choice to adopt might also correspond with the lack of a spouse or partner or desiring not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single people and same sex partners often adopt because of this. Methods of adopting can be different from one country to another. Ordinarily when applying to adopt, all potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability.

Adoption procedures for each nation will differ widely.Requirements needed to commence the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending upon the nation of the adoptive parents. In the U.S., as a general rule, usually the number 1 rung in the process is to find an adoption agency or facilitator to work with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of countries, and many focus all their energy on a lone nation.
