Emily began handling adoptions in 2009 as an adoption attorney, and is a member of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA). Emily found her work to be rewarding, but at the same time frustrating as her ability to help the expectant mothers was limited in what she could do as an attorney. After feeling that God was calling her to focus her work on serving these young women, Emily joined Adoption Options, Inc., in 2019 knowing Carri has the same heart to serve, and is excited to see this ministry grow.
Emily is a graduate of the College of Charleston, with degrees in U.S. History and Studio Art, and Cumberland School of Law. In the community, she is an active member of St. Michael’s Church, volunteers with 40 Days for Life, and previously served on the board of the Charleston Miracle League. Emily enjoys photography, cooking and spending time on the water when she can. She resides in Charleston with her husband and son, who is adopted.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive financial support in the form of a monthly board rate. Foster children also receive a clothing allowance, and their medical needs are covered through Medicaid.
In addition to the support you receive from your local DHS or foster care agency, there are other programs and resources available to parents.
The South Carolina Foster Parent Association offers free training to foster parents and kinship caregivers. You can find information on the latest laws and events as well. Plus, you gain access to valuable resources such as informational articles, contact information for professionals, etc.
The SC Foster Parent Association also allows foster families to connect with one another and share advice. You can find local association meetings in your area on their website.
The program Heartfelt Calling's mission is recruiting and supporting foster and adoptive families. Parents can learn more about the system, start the application process, register for orientation, find webinars, and more.
Foster parents that care for children in DSS custody receive reimbursement for related costs. These monthly foster care payments are meant to meet a child's basic care needs.
The most recent board rates are on the South Carolina Department of Social Services website. Payments may vary depending on a child's age and special needs.

If I could have zero Stars I would, they lie about the expenses they can cover. Then tell you to wait while the family you've chosen "talks and prays about it" they don't help you and if you're in a bad situation when you got pregnant they want you to stay in that bad situation after. Emily lies and tells you things that you want to hear and then doesn't follow through.
