Our Mission is to provide resources and support services for vulnerable families and those who care for them.

Our Vision is to empower all vulnerable children to reach their full potential.

We offer programs that nurture, kinship care, support and strengthen the children, families and caregivers we serve as they move forward in their journey involving fostering and adoption.

Through focusing on 6 key areas:

• Recruiting Christian foster and adoptive families for children in need.
• Increasing community awareness regarding the significance of issues related to child welfare in our state.
• Supporting children who age out of the foster care system through mentoring and providing resources.
• Encouraging, supporting and providing resources to foster and adoptive families.
• Building on the well established relationship with South Carolina's Department of Social Services (DSS) to position A Home for Me to effectively serve as a bridge ministry between the agency and upstate churches who desire to initiate foster/adoption care programs.
• Guiding churches who wish to establish foster/adoption care ministries by providing a model and resources to do so; actively recruiting and encouraging these congregations.

No. A Home for Me is not part of DSS but many of the children we serve are in the foster care system. We value our close relationship with DSS and strive to strengthen collaborations between the agency and local churches for the benefit of SC children and families.

No, A Home For Me is not funded by the state. AHFM is a not-for-profit business, meaning our funding comes from generous donations. 

A Home for Me works with a variety of christian churches who are striving to do their part to fulfill a Biblical directive to"...take up the cause of the fatherless..." Isaiah 1:17.

AHFM is a bridge ministry.  We connect agencies and churches together.

Although we are not an agency, we have an experienced and passionate team that is committed to educating, equipping, and empowering families in the area of orphan care and adoption. Most of us on the "A Home for Me" team have personal experiences with foster care and adoption, both locally and internationally.

We are happy to guide you to an area of ministry/service where your time and talents can be best utilized for His Kingdom's work. You don’t have to adopt a child or go on a mission trip to help. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to serve in some way.

Potential individual and group volunteers are encouraged to contact our staff at (864) 254-8115. We will set up a time to talk to you about how you or your group can get involved. We are always in need of compassionate and committed volunteers.

While A Home for Me is not a licensing agency we do provide an ongoing schedule of valuable training for families interested in fostering and adopting and make referrals to those organizations who do provide licensing programs. We are committed to educating, equipping, and empowering families in the area of foster care and adoption and assisting christian families as they seek to learn about various adoption options.

A Home for Me was founded by a church in Simpsonville, SC in 2008. The organization attained its nonprofit status in 2014, as it expanded its efforts to positively impact more children and families throughout South Carolina.
