I think fostering is the best thing we’ve ever done, it becomes a way of life.
When Charlotte first arrived with us at 9 years old, she was this ball of anxious, nervous energy and that just descended. It’s fair to say there had been lots of disruption in her early years so it was important for us to make this work, she needed a long-term commitment, a family.
Charlotte quickly became a natural part of the family and we’ve never looked back.
Charlotte’s always had an affinity with children, and this drive to do better than what she had as a child, to be that support that she always wished was there for her. I’m so proud of Charlotte, she’s a beautiful young woman.
I think fostering is the best thing we’ve ever done, it becomes a way of life. If you’ve already looked after children and have spare time in your life, then it’s easier than you realise.
