Adoption is the term for permanently placing a child with one or both parents who weren't the birth parents. Adoption brings about the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the true birth parents and passing those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. Many, many kids are put up for for adoption due to the true biological parents' acknowlegement that they are unable to take even adequate care of their baby or child. Other actual birth parents forcibly are stripped of their parental rights and their child or children are placed into foster homes since they were abused, abandoned or neglected. The physical inability to reproduce biologically is a typically common cause to adopt. The desire to adopt can also be due to the lack of a marital partner or a decision not to use a sperm donor or surrogate. Single people and same sex partners often adopt for this very reason. Procedures for becoming a legal adoptive parent can differ from country to country or even between states. Typically when applying to adopt, any potential adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability and appropriateness.

International adoptions are commonly more costly and also very often incur extra fees, including the adoptive parents having to travel to the source country. US citizens represent the vast majority of international adoptive parents. Some more developed countries have relatively well proven laws and procedures for out of country adopters to meet, while others don't. Adoption procedures for each country can differ widely.Requirements needed to commence the process of adopting internationally also can differ widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents. In the US, as a general example, usually the initial step in the process is choosing an adoption agency or facilitator to deal with. Each adoption facilitator or agency works with a different set of countries, and just a few focus only on a single country.
