I am writing in regard to the condition of the DSS services in SC.  I am mother &amp grandmother who has a heart for the well being of our children in SC.  I would like to share the personal story of my son &amp daughter-in-law.  They have two biological children, but have always wanted to adopt.  Their desire to adopt is based on wanting to care for a child who is unwanted, unloved &amp uncared for.  They began the DSS progress to become foster parents about two years ago &amp now have been registered as a foster care home for at least a year.  They only want to do foster to adopt.  They have attended several adoptions fairs &amp expressed interest in several children but have never received the children.  I find it hard to believe in our state there are not any children who need a permanent loving home!  I am using my family as an example &amp am not writing this for help for them but to understand where the problem lies.  I have talked with people who were registered as foster care families but stopped due to the problems with placements.  Governor please help to overall our DSS system!
