Carolina Hope serves adoptive couples and singles from all over the United States, and also assists non-U.S. citizens in adopting through our Cambodian adoption program.

South Carolina Homestudy Services

As a licensed adoption agency, Carolina Hope offers professional adoption home study services to South Carolina residents and U.S. citizens residing abroad. Carolina Hope regularly conducts home studies for South Carolina families adopting through attorneys or other agencies.

On Saturday, May 16, Carolina Hope is sponsoring a 5k run/walk to increase adoption awareness and raise funds for our services to children and families. More details and the registration form can be found at the 5k Run/Walk page.

Online Adoption Education

In addition to our adoption workshops held at Carolina Hope’s office in Greenville, we have added a new component to our adoption education: live and pre-recorded online adoption education courses. These courses cover a wide range of topics related to domestic and international adoption: the adoption home study (a live interactive version & a pre-recorded version that you can watch according to your own schedule), transracial adoption issues, funding an adoption, open adoptions and more.

Featured Courses: Three Webinars about Ethiopia Adoptions

Carolina Hope now offers three live online adoption education courses on Ethiopia: Introduction to the Ethiopian Adoption Program, Traveling to Ethiopia & Post-Placement Issues, and Medical & Adjustment Issues in Adopting from Ethiopia. Follow the linked course titles for the dates and times the courses are offered, as well as the cost for each course. (Each course is independent of the others, and they do not have to be taken as a series.)
