I grew up in Foster care - ask me anything

I was removed from my birth family as a pre-teen. I spent the next 8 years bouncing round the care system. I had lots of different families, placements and experiences. Some good and some not great. I'm now an adult in my 20s. Ask me anything and I'll try and answer it (as long as its not too personal or likely to out me). I'm doing this in the hope that it might allow some of you to see your foster children in a different light and perhaps explain a few things that might not otherwise make sense.

Firstly I want to say that it sounds like you have a lot of life experience and good qualities to bring to the role of a foster carer. However I just wanted to question something with your post. Why do you particularly want to care for a young girl? Would you not consider fostering a boy, teenagers or even siblings?

I don't think anyone who considers becoming a foster carer is selfish. It's a hard job with little pay and little respite, but some amazing people still stand up and do it.

Good luck on your fostering journey if you choose to persue it Smile
