The Department of Social Services Adoption Preservation Program congratulates you on your choice to adopt one or more of South Carolina s children. We are grateful for families who are committed to providing a home to a waiting child, and we hope that all is going well with your family.
Adoption affects families in many ways.
Sometimes families experience difficulties even after an adoption is final. We are aware that you may need services. You may ask for Adoption Preservation services. The services range from providing information and making referrals to assisting with respite care. The purpose of these family-centered services is to support families while they identify their own problems and how they want to deal with them.
