I am really gutted but my missus wishes to become a foster parent and that takes 1st priority
I wish all the boys and girls taking part all the best and i am sorry i cant be there but i am backing it 1000%
After bringing up 3 children and at the moment 3 grandchildren and 2 on the way, we have decided to give other children the chance of a more secure loving homelife
Thanks Baz

admire you Baz, Fostering has to be the hardest challenge, I was coaching a year 1 rugby team, one of the little lads there was with foster parents, a great kid and the foster parents were brilliant.Takes special people to foster.
Good Luck and Well done

I work for National Fostering Agency (NFA), they are really good, and offer good support. But there are loads of good agencies around.
Send me a PM if you want any info or advice.
Had any thought on what age group to foster yet?

i will pm you the name of who we are dealing with and thanks for the advice no doubt i will be asking for advice, as long as they ont come across my name in the sex craze threadclaire wrote:You'll be fine then!!
Most people want babies, but mostly local authorities carers get them. Agencies tend to get teenagers or the more challenging kids (cos it costs the local authority more to use an agency, the LA carers get the referals first). Thats not always the case though.
There are some lovely kids out there that need fostering, some absolute nightmare ones too though!! but you get given all their background info beforehand.
