South Carolina adoption records can be found by following the following instructions. Every adoption agency in South Carolina offers an informal adoption registry for the exchange of information. Adoption records are sealed by the court at the time of adoption. This means that the adopted child is unable to obtain their original birth certificate and gain identifying information of their birth parents until they are adults. This makes it difficult to obtain original adoption records until the adoptee is an adult.
