Adoption Requirements

Adoption is a legal process, and as much as all parties might agree to the adoption, it is not legalized and final until the family court orders it so. While there are requirements for an adoption to be complete, you do not have to be in a perfect situation to be approved for adoption. South Carolina allows parents with different marital statuses, income levels, housing situations, and sexual orientations to adopt. Our lawyers will assess whether you are eligible and help you meet the criteria to complete the adoption process.

Adoptions can involve:

  • Private adoption
  • Adoption involving an agency
  • Adoption through foster care
  • Stepparent adoption
  • Grandparent or other relative adoption

In many situations, parents looking to adopt must undergo home visits before they are approved, cover certain costs for the birth mother, undergo a background check, provide references, present medical information, and more. There are additional requirements for international adoption.

If you are looking to adopt a stepchild or close relative, some requirements might be lifted, but there can be other challenges that arise. These include obtaining consent from the biological parent for the adoption to proceed.
