Peru nurse's adoption bid for abandoned baby stalled by single-status rule

A nurse in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, seeking to adopt an abandoned infant faces bureaucratic hurdles as Peru's MIMP initially rejected her request due to her single status, despite UPE Lima Este finding no family reintegration alternatives and noting a maternal bond. After four months and new guidelines, she has applied for exceptional family foster care. This highlights gaps in Peru's child welfare system regarding non-traditional families.
