Myself and my partner are looking to foster. But would like permanent and younger children. I already have three girls of my own but it seems like a mind field as to where and what agency to go with...... need some help.

I foster in the North West so am not sure about your local area. I'd recommend approaching your local authority (council)

Thare lots of private fostering agencies and charities - but they tend to place the older children or ones with more complex needs that councils struggle to find carers for.

I'm not sure about younger children on a permanent basis - if they have little ones who definitely can't ever return to birth families they usually look for adoptive families for them in my experience. But if might be worth going to an open day or evening at your local council - they know exactly what sort of families they need for the children un your area. It's very hard work but fantastic and definitely worth it - good luck
