Peru Adoptions

Villa Hope’s current staff and our agency representative in Peru have wor been working together in Peru since 1988. Villa Hope has had a contract with the Peruvian Government to place healthy children and children with special needs for international adoption since 1994.

Children available for adoption through the Villa Hope Peru Program include toddlers, older children, sibling groups, and children with special needs.

Priority Adoptions

This program was created by the Women’s and Children’s Ministry (MIMDES) in Peru, which is the governing authority of adoptions in the country. The children available for adoption in this program are considered to be “priority adoptions” due to medical special needs, developmental delays, children older than 9 years, adolescents and sibling groups.

If you are interested in adopting a child on the Priority Adoption List please send an email to Pat Baldwin, International Programs Director, at patbaldwin@villahope.org

Adoptive Family Qualifications

Adoptive Applicants should be between 25 and 55 years of age. Single adoptive applicants are accepted for children who are on the Priority Adoption List. Divorce is accepted. Applicants with 2 or more children may adopt a child on the Priority Adoption List.

Both parents must travel to Peru to finalize the adoption approximately 2 montsh after you have been officially matched with a child. The family will remain in Peru for approximately 5 weeks. One parent may return to the United States after the adoption has been finalized in Peru (approximately 2 weeks). During your stay in Peru our representative will guide you through the entire adoption process.

Due to frequent changes, which are typical in Latin American adoptions, please contact Pat BaldwinInternational Programs Director, at patbaldwin@villahope.org for the most up to date information
