  • Retainers--Application, Clearance, Orientation, Home Study- $3000
  • Training and Orientation-- New Mexico requires training for all adoptive parents. We have located some high quality, online professional development to provide this adoption pre-placement training and we are also able to provide certificates for any hours of training we provide as well. The online training is provided for the parents to access with an independent company.
  • Home Study--  As with many states, New Mexico is standardized on the SAFE process. Our staff are certified and will engage in multiple in-home interviews with all family members. If you reside out-of-state, arrangements will be made on an individual basis to coordinate a SAFE home study. This will also include a Home Safety Inspection, but don't worry. We will go over the expectations of the inspection before the inspection so you will know what we are looking for in the Home Safety Checklist.
  • Birth Parent Services --   Adoptive services will complete birth parent counseling before, during, and after delivery.  An adoptive services  attorney will complete termination and relinquishment hearing in Portales, NM of birth parent rights.
