Peru Adoption News Update

Peru Adoptions

Peruvian adoptionsNew Beginnings Peruvian Program has been in existence since 1990. In many ways the program is excellent. MIMDES (Department of the Women and Social Development, National Adoption Office) manages the adoption process professionally and with integrity. Dra. Hilda Nuñez Candiotti is our representative in Peru. She will prepare the legal necessities for your trip and guide you while abroad. Ms. MariaIsabel Alonso guides the families through the dossier and homestudy process and prepares you for the assignment and trip.

Although many of the elements needed for a successful program are in place in Peru, there are challenges. The length of time can be up to two years and the youngest children available are under three years of age. There are many restrictions on who can enter the program and the stay in the country is up to five weeks. Though Peru is not for everyone, for families that adopt through the program, their patience is greatly rewarded.
