Foster Care - Comments from children and foster carers ...

"While I was there I felt like one of the family. They treated me as one of their own which was good. I knew where I stood with them. They were honest with me and I think that's important." 
Tom, aged 13    

"We have been fostering for 18 years and have had nearly 40 children. It can be hard work, especially to start with, but it's worth it." 
Margaret and Bobby, long-term carers   

"The training and assessment helped us by making us think about our attitudes and values, and about how fostering would really affect our lives."
Dan and Emma, newly approved carers
