Wendie and Adam
Fostering with our birth children was hugely rewarding. Our oldest son could be challenging at times, but when we started fostering his behaviour improved. For our daughter, she got to have sisters. It made us all more understanding and tolerant of people.
One young person we fostered we took on holiday to Cornwall and they started to cry when we arrived, we thought they were upset, but they just looked at us and said this was the best holiday they had ever been on, and we’d only just arrived.
Another young person who we fostered for seven months was shaking and crying almost non-stop when she first arrived on our doorstep, but after two days she was having cuddles with me.
