Adoption is the term for permanently placing a child with one or two parents other than the birth parents. Adoption means the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the true biological parents and the placing of those responsibilities & rights onto the adoptive parents. Many, many children, no matter their ages, are put up for for adoption due to the actual biological parents' decision that they are unfortunately unable to take even adequate care of their infant or child. Some percentage of birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights & their child or children are placed in foster care as they were neglected or abused. A physical incapability to have a biological child is a general or common motive for adopting. A decision to adopt could also be accompanied by the lack of a mate or partner or deciding not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried individuals and same sex couples often adopt because of this reason. Procedures for legally adopting a child can vary from country to country. Ordinarily when applying to adopt, the prospective adopters will be judged for appropriate suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country are often more costly and regularly incur more costs, such as the adopters needing to go to the source country. Citizens of the US represent the largest number of international adoptive parents. A few large nations have fairly well instituted laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to satisfy, while others do not. Adoption rules & regulations for each country will vary widely.Requirements necessary to commence the process of adopting outside the country also deviate widely, depending on the country of the adopters. In the US, as a general example, generally the number one step in the process is to pick an agency or facilitator to work with. Every adoption agency or facilitator works with different countries, and just some focus all their energy on a lone country.
