We are a licensed adoption agency in South Carolina, certified to receive children for placement in family homes with a view toward domestic adoption; to provide adoptive services and/or serve as a referral agency; consulting; and, to provide foster home and adoptive assessments, and training. It is our privilege to serve in this amazing, adventurous, miracle world of adoption! Hope Embraced helps with matching adoptive families with women facing pregnancy with circumstances that have led them to choose adoption. The agency also helps in situations of “Identified” or “Designated” adoptions. This is where a family comes to us with a birth mom they have already matched with on their own. Hope Embraced provides adoption support services of counseling, guidance, and the paperwork necessary for all parties. Hope Embraced also provides information for legal representation and resources for the home study and profile if needed. Hope Embraced does home studies for SC families doing domestic adoption, embryo adoptions, and/or surrogacy adoptions.

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.

Jeanna and Janna were so helpful throughout our adoption process as we adopted our beautiful baby girl. They referred us to a wonderful agency who worked with us and matched us with an expectant mom that we developed a lifelong relationship with. Jeanna was there to answer every question for us and to truly guide us through a process that was foreign to us at first. We would recommend Adoption Advisors to anyone! Because of them, we now have our beautiful daughter in our lives and we are blessed beyond measure. We are still in communication with Adoption Advisors to this day and we appreciate all of their hard work on our behalf.
