You omit some details that would help:

- what happened to "person_id" in the results?  Just drop it?

- can duplicates of "person_id" appear in either A or B?  If so, what
  should happen in the output?

- can a "person_id" appear in A or B but not appear in the other?

- is A always just person_id/adop_count and is B always
  person_id/village_id, or can other data appear in (or be absent
  from) each dict?

Your answers would change the implementation details.
