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.

I can't express how happy we have been with Nightlight. From our initial paperwork, to our home study, and beyond - they have been nothing but organized, understanding, and professional. We have loved working with Katherine and feel like she has gone above and beyond during this often complicated and emotional process. Absolutely recommend Nightlight!!!

We had a surperb experience with Nighlight Christian Adoptions. They not only completed our home study for us, but became family in the process! Katherine prayed for us and encouraged us every step of the way! She believed in us when we didn’t believe in ourselves. We have a beautiful baby boy now and are over the moon in love with him! Our lives are forever changed. Many many thanks!

We are so thankful for Nightlight Christian Adoption Agency as they have made our dreams come true by helping us become parents through the domestic adoption program. The entire process was amazing with the guidance and help of the Nightlight Greenville office. Our social workers were always there to explain and answer any questions we had as well as help us form a wonderful relationship with birthmom. There aren’t enough words to express our thanks!
