Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico

How do I keep my children from being adopted

my children were abused by a former boyfriend the children were taken into custody. I removed myself from that situation. In order to do that I moved out of town, when I did move visits with children were involuntarily cancelled, the reason given was that of my move which was on my part compliant with treatment plan, since I did comply with treatment plan no follow up has been done I have not seen my children in almost 2 months, and permancy plan is not to return home but adoption which the hearing is on the 15th of June. How do I keep my children from being adopted and returned home with me?

Re: How do I keep my children from being adopted

You should get an attorney to represent you immediately. If money is a problem check for free legal services. In California if there is an action to take the children from the parent the court must appoint an attorney to represent indigent parents. Check the yellow pages for a free one half hour consultation with an attorney with experience in this area. You should be able to learn what legal services are available in a half an hour.
