Adoption is a legal process by which a person becomes the legal parent of a child who is not their biological offspring. Adoptions can be either open or closed, and can be arranged through a private agency or through the state.
At Justice Legal Group, we have a team of skilled attorneys who can help you understand your rights and options when it comes to adoption. We will work with you to navigate the legal process and ensure that the adoption is completed smoothly and efficiently.
In New Mexico, adoptions can be arranged through a private agency or through the state. Private agencies are licensed by the state and are regulated by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD). These agencies can assist with both domestic and international adoptions.
The state of New Mexico also has a foster care program that provides temporary care for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or other circumstances. Children in foster care may be eligible for adoption if their parents’ rights have been terminated by the court.
