Dave has been fostering for over 10 years – here’s what he shared with us about his fostering experience
‘I have been fostering for more than a decade – and it’s not all been plain sailing!
But I know I will be able to look back and think, well if I have done one good thing in my life, then it was fostering
Every kid has a backstory, usually not a good one – and if you can make it a little easier for them, then you are giving them something they haven’t always received from the adults in their lives. That might be a shoulder to cry on or a bit of normality in what may have been a life full of disruption and upheaval. Sometimes you may find yourself wondering why you are doing it, and rewards might seem thin on the ground, but then little things really show they do appreciate what you are doing for them – though they don’t always say thank you!’
Fostering is one of the most rewarding and life-changing things that you can ever do.
