Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent (or parents) other than the true birth parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the actual birth parents and placing those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. Many, many children are placed up for for adoption as a result of the birth parents' decision that they are not able to adequately care for their baby, infant or older child. Some actual birth parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights and their child is placed into foster homes because they were abused or even abandoned. The lack of ability to reproduce biologically is a frequent or common cause for adopting. A decision to adopt could also be related to the lack of a marital partner or desiring not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex partners frequently adopt for this very reason. Procedures for becoming an adoptive parent will differ from country to country. Normally when going to adopt, any potential adopters will be considered for appropriateness.

International adoptions typically are more expensive and oftentimes incur more costs, including the adoptive parents having to travel to the source nation. People from the U.S. represent most of the international adopters. Some large nations have moderately well instituted laws and rules for foreign adopters to heed, while some don't. Adoption policies and procedures for each nation vary widely.The requirements needed to start the process of international adoption also can differ widely, depending upon the country of the adopters. In america, as a general example, usually the first phase of the process is finding an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, although just some focus their energy only on a specific nation.
