Adoption in South Carolina

South Carolina adoption offers many options to families. You may adopt an infant or older child through an international adoption, an infant through domestic adoption, or an older child or special needs child through domestic foster care adoption. All adoptions require a home study.

South Carolina Adoption Home Study

A home study is required to help match you with the child that would be the best fit in your family, along with financial checks, and personal evaluations. Every adult in the house will undergo a criminal background check, fingerprinting and check of the Central Registry of Abuse and Neglect for all household members 18 years and older.
