Do I have to live in Clark County to be an adoptive parent or foster care parent through Clark County Family and Children Services?
Families do not need to be Clark County residents to adopt children through Clark County Family and Children Services. For foster care, an inquirer living in an adjoining county of Clark County may fill out an application. However, those families living outside of an adjoining county should contact the local county agency to get more information.
