Timi's story

A foster carer and child (stock image)“We were approved as foster carers on the Next Steps Scheme (Specialist Fostering). We have two birth children and currently we have one child we are fostering.

We do not consider the fostering of children more challenging than raising one’s own birth children. It’s not that there are no challenges, but that’s what parents are built for; to help another generation grow to their full potential. We have had to adapt some of our routines to accommodate our young people and make room to accept them as they were, when they came to us.

Fostering is a great thing to do. We feel we all have enough love and kindness to share. The addition of a child or children to your home brings many advantages; one of the important ones is that every child brings something good into your home, even if they don’t know it"
