Post-adoption/guardianship support services

Post-adoption services are provided by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department. Learn about the support available to families who adopt in New Mexico by visiting the state’s post-adoption support information website

Parent support groups

Below are support groups for adoptive, kinship, and foster families. Support groups may be offered as part of a state’s post-adoption/guardianship support program, through a statewide or regional foster or adoptive parent association, through specific agencies, or may be run independently. If we have additional information about the group’s purpose or the community served, it’s provided under the group’s contact information.

To add a group or make a suggestion, email the AdoptUSKids family support team.
