If a child is appointed a legal guardian who receives assistance pursuant to the Program, an agency which provides child welfare services shall document in the case plan maintained for the child:
1. The steps taken by the agency which provides child welfare services to determine that adoption or returning the child to his or her home is not an appropriate placement for the child.
2. The reason that the child was separated from any siblings during placement, if applicable.
3. The reasons that a permanent placement with a relative is in the best interests of the child.
4. That the child meets the requirements for eligibility set forth in NRS 432B.623.
5. The efforts made by the agency which provides child welfare services to discuss adoption of the child by the relative as an alternative to appointment as the legal guardian of the child and the reason that the relative has chosen not to pursue adoption.
6. The efforts made by the agency which provides child welfare services to discuss with the natural parent of the child the agreement to provide assistance to a relative or the reason that the agency was unable to discuss the agreement with the natural parent of the child, as applicable.
