Adopting children is extremely rewarding and much needed.  It also can be a unique challenge.  One that not everyone understands.

Many times children who are adopted have needs and challenges before them and their new families that are difficult to know how to best handle and cope with.

New Mexico and La Familia, have received a 4 year grant for:
  a lending library
  trainings with some of the best experts around
  Support Groups
  Family Activities
  Help with Respite
  Warm Lines (Numbers to call and talk with people who have experience living with challenging situations)
  etc...
