New Mexico’s adoption law is set forth under Ch. 32A, art. 5 NMSA 1978 (“Adoption Act”). The stated purposes of the Adoption Act are threefold: “A. establish procedures to effect a legal relationship between a parent and adopted child that is identical to that of a parent and biological child; B. provide for family relationships that will give the adopted child protection and economic security and that will enable the child to develop physically, mentally and emotionally to the maximum extent possible; and C. ensure due process protections.” Section 32A-5-2 NMSA 1978.

Procedure
Adoption procedures are described under Sections 32-5-25 to 35-2-40 NMSA 1978 of the Adoption Act. Some provisions that give further information on filing a petition for adoption include Section 32A-5-25 requiring that a “petition for adoption shall be filed within sixty days of the adoptee’s placement into the proposed adoptive home if the adoptee is under the age of one year”. Section 32A-5-26 describes in detail the contents of a petition for adoption. Section 32A-5-28 specifies the contents of a response to a petition for adoption. Section 32A-5-32 describes the procedures for and requirements of stepparent adoptions.

Forms
The State of New Mexico does not publish official adoption forms for the entire state. The Second District Court located in Bernalillo County has published some adoption forms on its website. For those New Mexicans outside of Bernalillo County seeking adoption forms, you can contact the Supreme Court Law Library by email at libref@nmcourts.gov and by phone at 505-827-4850 and we can provide you with a sample form. We recommend consulting with a licensed New Mexico Attorney to ensure that your documents comply with New Mexico law.

Other State Agencies
Other state agencies that regulate aspects of the adoption process include the Department of Children, Youth and Families (CYFD) and the New Mexico Department of Health (Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics).

Library Resources
You are welcome to visit the Law Library and browse our collection of print and electronic resources covering adoption law. Titles include:

• The ABA consumer guide to adopting a child: everything you need to know for a successful adoption by Robert A. Kasky and Jeffrey A. Kasky

The appeal process can arise in various contexts. The appeal process involves requesting the review of an administrative agency action or lower court decision by a higher court.

The appeal process may commence from a lower court such as the Magistrate (Rule 1-072 NMRA) Metropolitan (Rule 1-073 NMRA), Municipal (Rule 8-703 NMRA) or Probate Court (Rules 1B-101 and 1B-701 NMRA) to the District Court. Appeals to a District Court must occur in the same county as the original lower court. New Mexico Statues provide for the appeals in the arbitration process under Section 44-7A-29 NMSA 1978. Actions of administrative agencies are also subject to appeal (Rule 1-074 NMRA & Rule 1-075 NMRA) and certain agencies have their own appeal rules (Human Rights Commission (Rule 1-076 NMRA) and the Unemployment Compensation Bureau (Rule 1-077 NMRA).

The Rules of Appellate Procedure are set forth under Rule Set 12 NMRA. These rules govern procedure and pleadings before both the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. Supreme Court General Rule Rule 23-101 NMRA sets forth the basic contours of a Supreme Court hearing.

New Mexico has several official forms for use in the appellate process. These include:

• Form 4-707. Notice of appeal.
• Form 4-830. Writ of certiorari.
• Form 4-831. Petition for writ of certiorari in appeal pursuant to Unemployment Compensation Law.
• Form 4-832. Writ of certiorari in appeal pursuant to Unemployment Compensation Law.
• Form 9-607. Notice of appeal.
• Form 9-702. Petition for writ of certiorari to the district court from denial of habeas corpus.

The Law Library also has numerous titles in our print collection that can assist you in the appeal process. Here is sampling of materials:

• 18th Appellate practice institute/State Bar of New Mexico, Center for Legal Education, New Mexico State Bar Foundation
• How to process an appeal in the New Mexico Court of Appeals: a project of the New Mexico Court of Appeals and Appellate Courts Pro Se Committee.
• Appellate practice compendium

Pursuant to that statute, the New Mexico Administrative Code (“NMAC”) Rule also took effect: Rule 10.2.2 NMAC Expungement of Arrest Records and Related Public Records

United States History
In 1848, Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican-American War and ceding the land that is now New Mexico to the United States. The treaty set the new boundary between Mexico and the U.S. and proclaimed to honor the property rights of inhabitants and their heirs as they had been under both the Spanish and Mexican governments.

In 1854, the U.S. Congress established the office of the Surveyor General of New Mexico to ascertain “the origin, nature, character, and extent to all claims to lands under the laws, usages, and customs of Spain and Mexico.” These duties included making recommendations to Congress concerning the validity of land grant claims.

In 1891, the US government established the Court of Private Land Claims to adjudicate land grant claims in New Mexico and other states. Some of the decisions of the Court of Private Land Claims were appealed by the United States Supreme Court. The court was disbanded in 1904.

Getting Started
Secondary resources are an excellent place to begin if you do not know the details of which land grant you are looking for or when and where it was adjudicated. There are a number of books, research reports, theses, and articles written by legal experts that have been published for others to retrace their research.

• David Benavides, Lawyer-induced partitioning of New Mexican land grants: an ethical travesty (1994)
• J. J. Bowden, Private Land Claims in the Southwest (1969) This is a 6-volume thesis of extensive research on the topic. The Law Library has one of the few print versions available for use only in the library. It includes summaries of individual land grant histories. The library staff can scan and send select pages requested for people who are unable to come here.

Uniform legislation has a long history in New Mexico, dating back to at least Arie Poldervaart’s discussion of uniform legislation in Uniform Laws and New Mexico, published in 1954. The Uniform Law Commission, also known as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and hereafter referred to as the Uniform Law Commission, was created in 1892 and the creator, or co-creator, of the majority of the uniform laws that are currently incorporated into the New Mexico Statutes Annotated. The Uniform Law Commission defines a uniform act as a law that is the same among various jurisdictions and the similarity and uniformity of the law is the primary or only goal of the legislation. The Uniform Law Commission defines a model act in a similar way, with the main difference being that uniformity is not the primary goal of the legislation and differences between jurisdictions are allowed for within the act. Uniform and model legislation generally aims to simplify interstate relations on subjects where states may often interact. Chapter 2, Article 4 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated establishes a Commission for the Promotion of Uniform Legislation in New Mexico and the duties of the commissioners specifically mention uniform legislation on the topics of marriage and divorce.  Matters of domestic law uniform legislation include the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act, New Mexico Uniform Parentage Act, and Uniform Interstate Enforcement of Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act. However, a review of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated demonstrates that the inclusion and influence of uniform legislation on New Mexico statutory law extends far beyond matters of domestic law. What follows is a non-comprehensive list of some of this legislation by subject.
