Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or older child with one or both parents other than the actual biological parents. Adoption gives rise to the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the true biological parents and putting those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. Many, many children, no matter their ages, are placed for adoption due to the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to adequately care for their baby. Some actual biological parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights and their children are placed in foster care since they were neglected, abused or abandoned. A physical inability to reproduce biologically is a frequent or common basis given to adopt. The wish to adopt can also be due to the lack of a spouse or partner or prefering not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single individuals and same sex partners frequently adopt for this very reason. Processes for adopting a child can be different from country to country or even between states. Usually when making an application to adopt, any potential adoptive parents will be considered for appropriate suitability.

International adoptions tend to be more high-priced and often incur more costs, like these: the adopters needing to travel to the source country. Americans represent the majority of international adopters. A few larger countries have fairly well instituted laws and procedures for foreign adopters to carry out, while other nations do not. Adoption procedures for each nation differ widely.The requirements needed to begin the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general example, generally the initial step of the process is to select an agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption agency or facilitator works with different nations, and others focus only on a lone nation.
