If you're thinking about becoming a foster carer, or have recently become one, this book is the one companion you'll need to understand the experience of fostering. This book demystifies the process of fostering; it answers all the questions you've had about how to become a foster carer, what the challenges and highlights are, and how to thrive.
This is an important and timely book, which sets out both the challenges and the achievements of foster carers' day-by-day work-- The Rt. Hon. The Lord Laming
This is a great guide, packed full of information and insight about how best to navigate the world of fostering. -- Isabelle Trowler, Chief Social Worker for Children
It's the book I wish I'd had when I was considering fostering and in my first few years. -- Maxine Taylor, Foster carer
This beautiful quote will stay with me forever:
"Always make sure they have a blanket when they leave. Don't wash it, as it needs to have a familiar smell to help them settle. Even our 16-year old took a blanket with her."
