Choosing to adopt a foster child is a great opportunity if you are open to adopting an older child and don’t want to wait a long time to grow your family. There are hundreds of children in South Carolina waiting to be adopted that you can view today in your state's foster care adoption photolistings.⁣⁣When you adopt a foster child who’s waiting in the system, their biological parents’ rights have already been terminated. Therefore, there is no potential for reunification with their parents and no need to take legal steps for termination of parental rights (which can be a complicated process and may be necessary in other types of foster care adoption).⁣⁣Our law firm is available to represent adoptive parents in their adoption of a child from the Department of Social Services — completely free of charge for adoptive parents. We do not require the adopting parents to advance any sum for costs, fees and expenses but, instead, are pleased to wait on the DSS subsidy for payment for our costs and expenses. The state of South Carolina offers a $1,500 subsidy for all adoptive parents to cover nonrecurring adoption fees, like the legal expenses of finalizing adoption.⁣⁣Thanks to this subsidy, our law firm is available to handle these DSS adoptions throughout the state at no additional charge to the adopting parents. ...
