Archiving Information for Private Stepparent and Relative Adoptions
It has come to the attention of the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) that there has been inconsistent practice throughout the legal community pertaining to DCFS receiving and archiving adoption records specifically for stepparent and relative adoptions. This request does not pertain to private agency adoptions involving child welfare agencies. The following stepparent and relative adoption documents should be sent to DCFS at the conclusion of the case:
- Petition for adoption-required to be sent by NRS 127.120
- Termination of Parental Rights-(if applicable) available to birth parents per NAC 127.371
- Relinquishment of Child for Adoption-(if applicable) available to birth parents per NAC 127.371
- Post Placement Adoption Agreement-(if applicable) available to birth parents per NAC 127.371
- Final Order of Adoption/Decree of Adoption-required to be sent by NRS 127.150, available to adult adoptees
Please send the applicable documents noted above to:
Division of Child & Family Services
Attn: Adoption Records Retention Coordinator
4126 Technology Way, 3rd floor
Carson City, Nevada 89706
Or documents may also be scanned and emailed to: [email protected]. Scanned documents must be in a “printable” PDF (Portable Document Format) and Division reserves the right of refusal for any emailed documents that are not legible, printable, or in a PDF format.
