Adoption is termed the legal act of permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with a parent or parental couple who were not the actual biological parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental rights & responsibilities of the actual biological parents and extending those responsibilities & rights onto the adopters. A large number of babies or children are placed for adoption due to the true birth parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to care adequately for their tike. Some true birth parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their child is placed into foster homes because they were abandoned, abused or neglected. The physical incapability to have a biological child is a frequent or common motive given to adopt. The desire to adopt can also be due to the lack of a marital partner or a decision not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Unmarried individuals and same sex partners frequently adopt for this reason. Methods of becoming a legal adoptive parent deviate from country to country. Normally when filling out an application to adopt, any potential adopters will be assessed for appropriateness.
