Hi. My name is Beka, I'm 26 and I live with my husband, his son J (4) and M (11) who we are kinship carers for. She has lived with us for 18 months now and we are looking into getting a Special Guardianship Order (SGO) soon. She is the half sister to J- same mum - my husband's ex-girlfriend. My husband was with Maria's mum from when she was about 4-8, so they knew each other well.
Her mum voluntarily gave her up after some concerns were raised by her school, but it was decided that she couldn't go back. We were her last option, there was no other family members that would have her. We didn't want her and J to be apart.
I don't have any children, but we plan to have our own. I try to be a good mum to J and M, sometimes I doubt myself. I just wanted to say hello, and maybe try to meet some other people here that are in the same boat as me.
Thanks
Beka x
