I really enjoyed working with young people and after meeting some foster carers who described their experiences of being foster carers I began to consider the possibility for myself. After attending one of the Adoption & Fostering Unit's information meetings I realised that fostering really was an option open to me. Since then I have never looked back.

I was approved as a Fostering Challenge carer where I look after one young person aged 12, who had difficulties settling in to fostering placement and required much more support than the average foster child because of his behavioural problems. It has been difficult at times but the rewards definitely out weigh the down sides. The young person I care for has been with me now for 2 years and it is amazing to see the change in him.
