We so wanted to be foster carers for several years and we thought are time had finally come.
Our two eldest children have both left school one leaving home in sep to live with his uncle which will be closer to his college.
Our two younger children are aged 7 & 10.We made a family descision to go ahead with the fostering process,we were very anxious about the process as two years ago we were involved with ss where we had to attend a cp meeting(the worst times of our life) nothing came of this and we were to return to normal life! however this wanted us even more to go down the fostering route giving us an insight of what its like to be on the otherside!!
We have been in contact with two fa and they have told us we would not be able to have 0-10year olds or sibling groups and only be offered teenage children which would be tagged,have complex behaviour problems,maybe pregnant always be in trouble with the law etc .They also told me my house is to small (we live in a large 5 bed victorian house) as of sep we have two spare rooms but at the moment have one spare room.
We were not keen on going with our La for various reasons.
Im so sad that its the end before it even started :(
Maybe we will try again in a few years x
