The Confirmatory Adoption bill addresses a pressing need for families created through assisted reproduction, ensuring that children receive the security and stability that formal adoption provides. It simplifies the adoption process, allowing for recognition beyond just two parents and clarifies that consent for assisted reproduction can be given at various stages, whether before, during, or after a child’s birth. This is a major victory for families seeking to navigate the complexities of adoption.
“This legislation is a testament to what we can accomplish when we unite as a community,” stated Jamie Carter, the Director of Family Law and Policy at Home Insemination. “By enacting the Confirmatory Adoption bill, New Mexico sends a powerful message of support to families formed through assisted reproduction, enabling parents to affirm their relationships with their children seamlessly. This is incredibly impactful for families throughout the state.”
We’d like to extend our gratitude to the bill’s sponsors, Senators Taylor and Lee, and Representatives Johnson and Smith, along with Governor Rodriguez and the New Mexico legislature. Special thanks also go to organizations like Equality New Mexico, who played a pivotal role in advocating for this important legislation.
