Ready to start the process of becoming a licensed foster parent?
You have decided that a role in foster care is a calling. You have felt the tug to care for those who have no one to care for them. Your question is, "What role am I to play in the family of individuals who serve together on behalf of children?" For some, this may mean becoming a licensed foster parent. For others, it means opening your home to become a licensed respite provider. You may wish to become a foster parent through our Transitional Foster Care for Unaccompanied Children program.
There are many roles available to those families or individuals who want to help children. Click here for some ways to help. There are over 300 children in need of a foster home in the state of South Carolina. We are here to walk alongside you as you care for these precious children.
