South Carolina post-adoption support

Below are post-adoption support services available to families who live in South Carolina. Services may not be available in all areas and/or may be dependent upon the circumstances of the placement.

Post-adoption/guardianship support services

The South Carolina Department of Social Services contracts with South Carolina Foster Parent Association to provide services such as information, referrals, and training for adoptive parents.

These services include a hotline dedicated to assisting adoptive parents who need information or assistance in supporting and parenting their children.

Parent support groups

Below are support groups for adoptive, kinship, and foster families. Support groups may be offered as part of a state’s post-adoption/guardianship support program, through a statewide or regional foster or adoptive parent association, through specific agencies, or may be run independently. If we have additional information about the group’s purpose or the community served, it’s provided under the group’s contact information.

To add a group or make a suggestion, email the AdoptUSKids family support team.
