In Arizona, you can be single, married or in a relationship, but if you are married, both parties must complete all requirements. You must be at least 21 years old to foster and at least 18 years old to adopt. You — and all adults in your household — must pass a FBI and local criminal background check and have a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card issued by the Department of Public Safety.
