A Mother's Choice

A Mother's Choice Full service adoption non-profit agency serving the southwest and located in eastern New Mexico on the campus of New Mexico Christian Children's Home.

You can reach me on my cell phone in an emergency. That number is 575.799.7752. Feel free to call or text and I will respond as soon as I can. Know that my practice is to treat the person in my office or home as the first priority, the person I am currently speaking to on the phone is a higher priority than the person who is calling at the moment, and that I do recognize emergencies take priority

over routine business. If you are in a crisis, tell me that in a text message by letting me know how urgent a return call is and I will do my best to respond ASAP. Because NM and West Texas are not the most "cell phone friendly" areas in the US, there are times when I don't have the best coverage. I also do my best to check email regularly, so by all means send me an email communication too. I promise I will never feel harassed or harangued. Send me a communication via facebook too....I don't know how to read smoke signals, so that is probably not your best communication strategy! We have a wonderful, full-time counselor in Celest Worley-Utley. Celeste can and will help both birth parents and adoptive parents with counseling and adjustment issues. Both Celeste and I are certified in the SAFE Home Study methods: http://www.safehomestudy.org/Home.aspx, so we are both able to conduct home studies to fulfill the requirements of NM and most of the western states utilizing this protocol. Celeste's email is [email protected]
Patricia's email is [email protected]

Please let us help you and have a blessed day.

Off to the Roosevelt County Fair Sale in a few. So many children from NMCCH did really well this year, so I am ready to whoop and holler tonight :-)

Rock the Desert in Midland, Texas was amazing and insane. The music and being surrounded by thousands of those that love the Lord while praising Him with the music brought from their hearts, voices and hands was beautiful. Many stopped to talk with me about our ministry services at NMCCH and A Mother's Choice. There were blessings.

Super thought provoking article from the NY Times on some of the pitfalls in international adoptions, and some cautions for those going that route. A Mother's Choice can assist in international Adoptions and does abide by all Hague Regulations (http://adoption.state.gov/hague_convention/overview.php).

Here is a link to a nifty online magazine that provides some great information about the impact of trauma on parenting. You might share this with the parents you know who come from a hard childhood who are striving to create a better life for their children; I guarantee they all are because they love their children.
