Adoption is legally defined as permanently placing a baby or older child with a parent or parental couple other than the actual biological parents. Adoption means the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the biological parents and putting those rights and responsibilities onto the adopters. A large number of babies or children are put up for for adoption as a result of the true biological parents' decision that they are unfortunately unable to adequately take care of their child of any age. Other true birth parents involuntarily are stripped of their parental rights so that their children are placed into foster homes because they were neglected or abused. A physical inability to reproduce and have a biological child is a commonplace cause for adopting. A choice to adopt might also be related to the lack of a mate or a decision not to use a surrogate or sperm donor. Unmarried people and same sex partners often adopt because of this. Processes for adopting vary from country to country. Generally when filling out an application to adopt, any prospective adoptive parents will be evaluated for suitability.

Adopting from outside one's country typically are more pricey and oftentimes incur extra costs, like the adoptive parents necessarily being required to travel to the source country. US citizens represent the major share of international adoptive parents. A number of developed countries have moderately well instituted laws, rules and procedures for foreign adopters to go along with, while others don't. Adoption policies for each nation differ widely.Any conditions needed to start the process of adopting internationally also can differ widely, depending on the nation of the adoptive parents. In the United States, as an example, usually the first phase in the process is selecting an facilitator or agency to work with. Every adoption facilitator or agency works with a different group of nations, although just a few focus all their energy on a specific country.
