Adoption Services

- Programs

Catholic Charities of South Carolina has a rich history of providing adoption services in SC. We do not currently offer active adoption placement services. We are only offering post adoption services at this time in abidance with South Carolina law.

All adoption records in South Carolina are closed and remain closed as of 2023. There has been no new laws allowing the opening of adoption records. Please read through the SC adoption laws here before contacting our office, particularly SECTION 63-9-780.

Services we provide:
```
Non Identifying Information Report: A report that is available to adoptees and birth parents that contains only medical and general personal information. An example of the report can be found here. We do charge a fee dependant upon the amount of information in your file as the data input can be very detailed.

To submit a request for non-identifying information:
1. Enter in your informaiton below
2. Fill out the affidavit (found here) and email to [email protected]

Reunion Registry: This is a passive registry that we manage on a request basis. We are not able to provide searching services at this time.

Amended Birth Certificate Assistance: We provide information to the Department of Vital Records to allow adoptees to obtain an amended birth certificate to obtain critical documents. Please click here to read through the process on the DHEC website before contacting our office.

A staff member will contact you within a few days with additional information. We try our best to honor your wishes and know that this can be an emotional and somewhat difficult task of obtaining information.
