South Carolina parents who meet established income guidelines may be eligible for assistance with the cost of their weekly child care. Income eligible parents must be working, in school, or in a training program. Adoption Services ‐ DSS considers adoptions for children who are unable to return home or be placed with relatives. Adoption services include assessment of children, recruitment of adoptive families and placement of children in adoptive homes. DSS also offers services to birth parents who are considering adoption for their child or children. Post‐adoption services exist for adoptive families, adult adoptee and birth families.

Child Care Services ‐ The Division of Child Care Services is an administrative structure for the child care related services and programs provided by and coordinated through the South Carolina Department of Social Services. Child Protective and Preventive Services‐ Child Protective and Preventive Services receive and assess or investigate reports of child abuse and neglect. These services, provided or coordinated by DSS, are designed to maintain children safely in their own homes when possible, reunite the family as soon as possible or place the children with relatives or in foster care, when necessary. Reports of suspected abuse or neglect should be made to the county DSS office. Integrated Child Support Services‐ By establishing paternity and establishing and enforcing court ordered child support, the Integrated Child Support Services Division (ICSSD) seeks to ensure that non‐custodial parents live up to their financial responsibilities in the raising of their children.
