Fostering and Adoption

We did it. Could you?

If you can provide a safe, secure and loving family home environment and have a spare bedroom, then you could adopt or foster a child.

Some people think you have to be extra special to foster or adopt. You don’t. You just have to be special in the eyes of the child or young person you care for and look after. You’ll need to have the time to make the child feel wanted, loved and an important part of your life for as long as they are in your care.

You don’t need to be special?

What matters most is that you have the room in your home to look after a child, are able to make them feel comfortable with their surroundings and give them a sense of their true potential. You must also be able to demonstrate a mature, responsible attitude and have the skills and qualities to care for children separated from their own families.
