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.
Here are the basics;

We've adopted twice through the SC office of Nightlight Christian Adoptions and love the personal attention and care that they give to everyone involved. We love that the office is small and we know the staff by name and vice versa. We've recommended them to multiple friends and love working with them so much that we decided to engage them again as we pursue a third adoption.
Thank you Nightlight for consistently showing the love of Christ through deeply personal and difficult circumstances that swirl with both grief of loss and joy of life.

Amazing staff, extremely caring torwards both parties involved. They try to make smooth transitions and even give advice for expecting moms who are unsure of what to do. I strongly recommend for anyone who is thinking about adoption or struggling with their current situation to at least talk to someone. Just an amazing set of staff all together.
