ADOPTION IN PERU
February 26, 2009 -- Send to a friend
Adoption is the act of providing a beautiful home that respects the rights and integrity of a child by a court on condition of abandonment. It is certainly a very important decision that establishes a strong legal and emotional bond with the child. It is not simply to give a child a family. Adoption is an encounter between a child in need and parents in their desire.
According to statistics, in 2007, of the 251 adoptions granted in Peru, 144 were made to persons resident abroad. The adoption process in Peru, which is free and does not require a lawyer, has an average waiting time of 4 years after being declared "fit" the adopter. The reason is that while we know that in Peru there are many children who are homeless or living in inadequate housing, the declaration of child or adolescent in condition or state of neglect for the judiciary, which is known to have an abundant legal burden .
