  • Description
  • Finding out that you are pregnant - unplanned, unexpected - may be shocking. You may be scared, disappointed, feeling guilty, embarrassed, alone, and overwhelmed with the decisions you need to make. You may be unsure about what your options are, and have lots of questions. "A Mother's Choice" is a licensed New Mexico Adoption Agency. Our purpose in Christian ministry is: to provide a complete range of professional services and confidential, compassionate assistance to birth mothers and fathers; to provide each child we serve a quality adoptive home.
  • Adoption Process
  • Application Packet - a $4,500 application fee is required with filing and actively retained with the application. Background Checks and Clearances - $4,500 fee payment due. 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. At this point the adoptive family is expected to pay their next payment of $4,500. Home Study - $4,500 payment is due. 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. Placement of your new family member! The final payment of $4,500 is due at this time. Judicial Hearing to create your new relationship.

Comment from Valerie Fiaui: hello, my husband and I are currently homestudy approved for a domestic infant adoption here in Albuquerque, NM (where we live). I was reaching out to see if you are currently accepting new adoptive families and how this year for adoptions has gone for you all? We are currently active with an adoption consultant and it has been slow the last 6 months. Hoping to get some insight on what you are seeing in your area and if you are accepting new families.
