Adoption is legally defined as permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the actual birth parents. Adoption effectuates the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the actual birth parents and assigning those responsibilities and rights onto the adopters. Many, many babies or children are placed up for for adoption due to the actual birth parents' decision that they are not able to adequately take care of their baby or older child. Some percentage of true birth parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their child or children are placed in foster care since they were abused, abandoned or neglected. A physical incapability to reproduce and have a biological child is a frequent or common motive given for adopting. The wish to adopt may also be due to the lack of a mate or a lack of desire to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex partners often adopt for this reason. Methods of adopting a child change from country to country. Typically when filling out an application to adopt, the prospective adoptive parents will be assessed for appropriateness.

International adoptions are often more expensive and very frequently incur other fees, such as the adoptive parents having to journey to the source nation. U.S. citizens represent most of the international adopters. A number of countries have moderately well founded rules and procedures for foreign adopters to conform to, while others don't. Adoption policies for each country vary widely.The requirements necessary to commence the process of international adoption also will vary widely, depending upon the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general rule, generally the first step in the process is to find an adoption agency or facilitator to work with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, although just a few focus their energy only on a specific country.
