The Children, Youth and Families Department is in the process of developing more post-adoption services for adoptive families in New Mexico. We will post new services to this web site as they are established. If you are in need of help, please feel free to call your local CYFD office and ask to speak with a placement worker. You may also contact the Adoption Subsidy Specialist (505-827-8400) who can help refer you to appropriate services.
