Peru Adoptions
New
Beginnings Peruvian Program has been in existence since 1990. Peru is a member of the Hague Convention, assuring
the quality of the adoption program. MIMDES (Department of the Women and Social Development, National Adoption
Office) manages the adoption process professionally and with integrity. Dr. Alberto C. Escudero Lozano is our
representative in Peru. He will prepare the legal necessities for your trip and guide you while abroad. Ms. Maria
Isabel 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 although families have gone through the process in as little as 15 months. In addition, the youngest children available are up to three years of age. Though Peru is not for everyone, for families that adopt through the program, their patience is greatly rewarded.
