Hi!

I just came accross this thread- i am not a foster carer however i grew up with parents who did and still do foster care and we have had about 150 kids over the years coming and going and for me and my sister (my parents only biological kids) it was just the norm, we always had someone to play with. Now i have 3 adopted brothers, 1 sister who mum is adopting soon but has been with us for 12 years and 2 foster sisters with disabilities in permanent care. My mum started doing it with repite placments from the local RCU when i was only 3 months old so all my childhood pics are of me with different kids!

I congratulate you all ondoing such a needed thing.

we are thinking of perhaps going for respite placements once our girls are at school.
