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.

They are amazing! The entire Nightlight staff works so hard to love and encourage. They advocate, pray, and support in so many tangible ways. We are incredibly thankful for their godly hearts. We adopted two kiddos via their Renewed Hope program

We had our home study conducted through Nightlight. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to them for their support.

Kind, caring, professional and very thorough! We believe that everything with our three adoptions went smoothly in large part due to how thorough each of our home studies were. Our children love "Miss Amy" and enjoyed all of our pre and post placement visits. We found Nightlight Christian Adoptions home study services to be truly excellent!

Nightlight Christian Adoptions has been so helpful throughout our whole adoption journey. We have loved working with Amy and the rest of the staff at Nightlight. We would definitely recommend their home study services.

We had a wonderful experience with Nightlight Christian Adoptions in Greenville, South Carolina. The personalized care for us (adoptive parents), birth-family & baby was so genuine and caring-we were extremely thankful to have found an agency like this. We know 3 other couples who adopted through Nightlight & had wonderful experiences. I recommend Nightlight to everyone I know who is considering adoption to build their family!
