Children in Foster Care

Teen VideoIt’s amazing what a life-changing moment it is for you and a child when you choose to open your heart to a young person in need of a temporary home!  There are approximately 3,400 children, any given day, who are in Clark County foster care, from toddlers to teenagers. Foster parenting is about believing and investing in the future of a child and their biological family. In an ongoing effort, Clark County Department of Family Services is seeking loving homes who are able to foster:
  • sibling groups
  • newborns / infants / toddlers
  • school-aged children / teens
  • teen moms and their children
  • drug and alcohol exposed infants
  • children with special health care and developmental needs
  • ability to offer immediate placement, being able to offer care 24 hours a day
  • as respite providers, providing short term care for other foster families

TEENS IN FOSTER CARE...
Homes are especially needed for teen-agers. On any given day, 30-40 teenagers are waiting on the Child Haven campus for a safe and stable foster home. These teenagers have goals of graduating high school, getting a job, opening a bank account, and figuring out life beyond foster care. They need support from caring adults who can guide them in the right direction.
