Adoption is a legal term for permanently placing a baby, infant or older child with a parent or parents who weren't the actual biological parents. Adoption causes the severing of the parental responsibilities & rights of the birth parents and turning over those rights & responsibilities onto the adoptive parents. A large number of babies or children are put up for for adoption because of the actual birth parents' decision that they are unfortunately not able to take even adequate care of their baby. Other true birth parents forcibly lose their parental rights & their child is placed in foster homes as they were abused or neglected. The physical inability to have a biological child is a normal basis for adopting. Wanting to adopt might also be accompanied by the lack of a spouse or deciding not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Single folks and same sex partners very often adopt for this very reason. Procedures for legally adopting will differ from country to country or even between states. Normally when applying to adopt, any potential adopters will be appraised for appropriate suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country commonly are more costly and also ususally incur more fees, such as the adopters needing to travel to the source country. Citizens of the U.S. represent the major share of international adopters. A few larger countries have fairly well established rules and procedures for foreign adopters to go along with, while some don't. Adoption policies for each country will differ widely.The requirements needed to begin the process of adopting internationally also differ widely, depending upon the country of the adoptive parents. In the US, as an example, usually the number one phase in the process is finding an adoption facilitator or agency to deal with. Every facilitator or agency works with different countries, and just some put their focus on a specific country.
