Adoption by law means permanently placing a child with parents who weren't the birth parents. Adoption leads to the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the biological parents and placing those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. Many children are placed up for for adoption due to the actual biological parents' acknowlegement that they are not able to take good basic care of their infant or child. Some percentage of actual birth parents involuntarily lose their parental rights so that their child is placed in foster care because they were abused, neglected or abandoned. A physical incapability to biologically reproduce is a frequent motive for adopting. A decision to adopt could also stem from the lack of a mate or partner or a preference not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex couples regularly adopt because of this reason. Methods of becoming a legal adoptive parent can be different from one country to another. Ordinarily when filling out an application to adopt, the potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability.

International adoptions commonly are more pricey and also very frequently incur additional costs, such as the adoptive parents being required to journey to the source country. US citizens represent most of the international adopters. Many larger countries have relatively well thought out laws and procedures for foreign adopters to go along with, while some don't. Adoption policies and procedures for each nation differ widely.The conditions necessary to start the process of international adoption also can vary widely, depending upon the country of the adopters. In the US, as a general rule, generally the initial step of the process is finding an adoption facilitator or agency to work with. Each adoption agency or facilitator works with a different group of countries, and others focus all their energy on a lone country.
