Hi everyone in looking for any information that will help me explore the possibility of us fostering further.
We have always thought and discussed the possibility we might foster once we had had our children, dc3 is now here and we have begun to think about this a little more. We are not at a point to say yes yet but we need further info.
I would love to hear from any foster careers with young (ish) families and would like to know on the pro's and cons for their own children.
I would also like more info on private v local authority foster caring. Do they offer the same support, training and allowances. Do they both do a range of fostering i.e. respite, emergency, short term, long term and planned short breaks .
On reading some info from our local authority I think I would be interested in respite and/or emergency and planned short breaks.
Any information and advice is gratefully received.
