Adoption Services
Northern Region

Catholic Charities of Northern New Mexico is a licensed adoption agency, providing a comprehensive adoption program including free counseling services to pregnant women considering placing their child and postnatal counseling and assistance to birth parents.

Adoption counseling, education, home study, and placement services are provided on a sliding scale fee to prospective adoptive parents. Post placement services are also provided to adoptive parents and birth parents. Search assistance is available to adopted persons who were placed through our agency.

Services To Pregnant Women
Catholic Charities adoption program offers free counseling to pregnant women, fathers, (if desired), and extended family, with the aim of helping them to make an informed decision regarding the future welfare of their unborn child.

Together, the parents and the social worker explore the impact on the futures of both parent and child, the feelings and conflicts of the parents, and a plan for the baby's future.

In the event the parents opt to place their child for adoption, free counseling continues to be offered, to aid them in dealing with their grief and loss.
