Abstract:
In the United States today, one in six couples face the problem of infertility. Although advanced medical techniques will be able to help about half of those couples, the remainder will stay childless. For those adults who desire the parenting experience, adoption is an important solution. Since healthy, adoptable infants are increasingly difficult to find in the United States, parents wanting to adopt are looking elsewhere. Intercountry adoption offers a solution to the problem of not being able to find healthy infants for adoption. Adopting from a foreign country is an option which is being selected by more and more Americans who wish to add to their family.
