Fostering case studies

Ruth and her husband have two daughters and five grandchildren and have cared for three foster children

Vicki has a son but felt she could be a parent to more children

Once she had her own children, Hannah started to think that being a foster carer might work better for her than being a teacher

Having taught in schools for children with special educational needs Catherine often thought of becoming a foster carer

Bev and Steve have five children of their own and have been foster carers for five years

Fostering has changed our lives. People from all kinds of backgrounds can become foster carers.
