Requirements to become a foster parent
Support Payments
As a foster parent in Nevada, you receive monthly board and support payments. These stipends cover the child's everyday care costs, such as food, lodgings, and other daily incidentals. The payable amount varies depending on the child's age and needs, but payments start at $682.94 for a child under 12 with no special needs.
When entering foster care, children are also entitled to a one-off clothing allowance of up to $125.00, an emergency clothing payment of $50.00, and $28.00 each August for school supplies.
Children with physical or mental disabilities receive an additional special care allowance of up to $550.00.
Medical and Dental Coverage
The government provides Medicaid to Nevada's foster children. These payments cover both medical and dental care until the age of 21.
The foster parents are responsible for arranging any medical appointments and attending them with the child.
Training and Support Groups
There are many groups, organizations, and resources that exist to support foster parents in Nevada. Attending groups and meetings is a great way to meet other foster parents and share your experiences.
Extra training can also help foster parents provide the best environment possible.

Hands down, the absolute BEST thing about AC of NV was Stephanie, our LSW. I could write a book, but I'll get to the point. Firstly, my husband and I have a beautiful and healthy little man that we are ever so blessed to have. We were matched with this agency via our consultants - who were fantastic. As for Stephanie- she was down-to-earth, compassionate, personable, professional, incredibly well-versed, punctual, available, calming, and just a wonderful person. She understood the Adoptive Parents' nerves, and the Birth Family's needs. She always did her best to please all parties, but ALWAYS did what was best for the baby. All-in-all, I could leave a scarring review about this agency, particularly the operational side and those in charge, as we were not very welcomed, but frequently blamed for office errors. So for the agency, I would leave 1 star. But because Stephanie is a rockstar, she saves all of their stars. SHE is worth the stars. If you work with them, keep an email trail of everything, and demand to work with the best their office has to give - Stephanie. They are so fortunate to have her.

I highly recommend Adoption Choices of Las Vegas as the staff was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. Jo and Amanda were very experienced and answered all of my questions. I was very apprehensive about the process, but Jo and Amanda made my experience very comfortable with their expertise and professionalism.
