About Peru

Peru is a country with a strong culture and a deep history. It has incredible landscapes and is known for many ancient settlements, such as Machu Picchu. Peru is a beautiful country with gracious hosts! However, due to poverty and high birth rates, there are many children in Peru who have been abandoned or live on the streets. Peruvian adoption is an excellent way for families to grow and to provide a child a loving home.

The Need

How We Help

In addition, Lifeline partners with local ministries and churches to love and care for children who have been abandoned but are not eligible for adoption.

The Reed Family

“Your emotions will be all over the map. You will not feel exactly the way you thought you would in response to circumstances and behaviors.

The Mayes Family

“Ali. Not a day has passed since she joined our family in which we have not thanked God for the blessing that this girl is in our lives.
