In their words

What foster carers and adopters have said about caring for children and young people:

“It’s hard work, but the first time a child listens to you or when you see them achieve, then comes the true reward, not money like in any other job, but the real knowledge that you have made a difference to a child’s life’’
“Fostering is fulfilling and satisfying’’
“You need to ask yourself, am I strong enough to make a difference?’’
“If you care about children, there’s nothing like being a carer’’.
