Adoption is the term for permanently placing a baby or child with a parent or parental couple other than the birth parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental rights and responsibilities of the true birth parents and assigning those responsibilities and rights onto the adoptive parents. Many babies or children are placed up for for adoption because of the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unfortunately unable to care adequately for their tike. Some actual birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights and their children are placed in foster homes as they were neglected or even abused. The physical incapability to reproduce and have a biological child is a typically common reason to adopt. A decision to adopt could also be related to the lack of a mate or partner or the desire not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single individuals and same sex partners frequently adopt because of this. Procedures for adopting can differ from state to state or between countries. Normally when applying to adopt, the potential adoptive parents will be judged for appropriate suitability.

Adopting internationally are usually more expensive and oftentimes incur more fees, such as the adopters being required to travel to the source country. Citizens of the US represent the major share of international adoptive parents. Many large nations have relatively well thought out rules and procedures for foreign adopters to fulfil, while other countries do not. Adoption procedures for each country can differ widely.Requirements necessary to start the process of adopting outside the country also can differ widely, depending upon the country of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as a general rule, typically the number 1 step in the process is to select an facilitator or agency to work with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with different countries, and just a few focus only on a single country.
