"Dear Foster Family,
I’d like to tell you a bit about me and my sister. We used to live with our family but things changed – I’m too young to understand exactly what happened but we don’t live at home anymore. They tell me that we are waiting for fosterers to come and take us to their home where we’ll have a bedroom all of our own and we will be part of a family again. I’m not sure how long that might be, but they tell us to keep smiling and that it will happen one day. I think there are a lot of us waiting for foster homes which makes me sad. Thank you for reading this and perhaps we’ll meet you soon. Love Joe and Anna."
If you are considering becoming a foster carer, this is what you need to know. Just like parents, foster carers can be any gender or religion, married, single, retired, working full or part time, own their home or live in rented accommodation with a spare room. You don’t have to have children of your own. You don’t have to commit to long term fostering, as carers are also needed to provide short term care for a few weeks or months.
The greatest need is for foster carers for older children, sibling groups, children with a disability or an additional need and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children who may have lost contact with their families.
