Adoption Program

Clark County Department of Family Services (DFS) does not have an Adopt Only Program. In order to be an eligible adoptive resource, you will need to be licensed as a foster parent for DFS and accept foster care placements within 30 days of licensure. Note: Children placed in your home may not be available for adoption. If you are interested in fostering a child in need, please contact licensing at: (702) 455-0181.

If you are interested in adopting a specific child or sibling group from Clark County, please email DFSadoptions@clarkcountynv.gov.  Please note we cannot answer questions about children who are not in the custody of DFS.

If you are only interested in adoption and do not want to foster a child in need, please go to the following website: https://dcfs.nv.gov/Programs/CWS/Adoption/Guide/AdoptionInNV and click on the link, Licensed Private Child Placing Adoption Agencies. This is a list of all the licensed adoption agencies in Nevada.  Please contact them directly to discuss your options.
