Adoption Awareness Expo
Held in January each year, the Expo is ACES’ flagship event. Expo is a one-stop shop for prospective adoptive families to learn about the types of adoption and the adoption process. The Expo is unique in that it is a collaborative effort that brings together public, domestic and international adoption organizations under one roof. Also, adoptive families share their experiences with attendees.
In a collaborative effort to locate permanent adoptive homes for SC waiting children, photographers from all over the state volunteered their time and talents to create unique portraits showcasing these children. The portraits will be on display in several locations around the state. Click here to view the online gallery and for current exhibit locations. Please contact SC Department of Social Services for more information about these children or DSS adoption in general.
