Who we are
Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains is a faith based, non-profit human services agency providing adoption, foster care, older adult & caregiver, prevention, and refugee services since 1948. We provide help and support to children and families during their most challenging times regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age. At LFSRM, we believe that all people, from the newborn to the most elderly, are valued members of our community.
We serve Albuquerque, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Las Cruces, Salt Lake City, and Colorado’s Western Slope. We partner with communities to meet the unmet needs affecting their most vulnerable populations. LFSRM strives to recognize areas in need and to find ways to serve those who have seemingly become invisible. Every day, hundreds of people turn to LFSRM for refuge, help and hope.
We don’t do it alone! The hallmark of serving through LFSRM has always been a shared sense of being in this together; joined at the heart with volunteers, clients, donors and neighbors.

Upcoming Events
How can you support a friend or family member who is adopting?
There are many misconceptions about adoption and the process that goes with it. One that often affects adoptive parents is the lack of true understanding and support they are receiving from friends and family. Join us for an informative class specifically designed for family members and support persons of adoptive families.
During this session you will learn about:
- Adoption language – The way we talk, and the words we choose, say a lot about what we think and value. When we use positive adoption language, we say that adoption is a way to build a family — just as birth is. Both are important, and neither is more important than the other.
- Open adoption – What is it? How does it work?
- Ways to help – Educating yourself about the adoption process, using positive adoption language are just a few of the ways to support adoptive families. What else can you do?
- Lifelong issues in adoption – They’ve adopted, now what? Learn what issues your friend or family member may encounter now that the child is home.
