I would suggest finding some fostering agencies and booking in for information sessions for prospective carers, as I don't think they will gloss over the realities of fostering and it can give you a better sense of it may be something for you and your family. There are so many children in need, and so few families to help them. I think, and I haven't fostered, you need to have a strong and communicative relationship with your parter and be prepared for challenges and new experiences. That said, IMO all children deserve the right to have a safe and loving home environment, so I commend anyone that can provide that for a child in need.
