“One of the best bits of being a foster carer is the relationship you develop with the children.” Foster carers Vicki and Kevin have cared for over 50 children, young people and siblings through respite care, short-term and emergency foster placements, supported lodgings, or parent and child arrangements. These included caring for newborns, teens and pre-teens, and children with additional needs for a period of just a few weeks up to 2 years. Our foster carers are able to find the right fit of fostering for them and their families whether that is a short-term or longer term arrangement until the child or young person is ready to live independently or be reunited with family. Vicki declared for anyone considering fostering: “Go for it! There are lots of ‘what ifs’, but all of those can be sorted during the assessment process.” Read on: https://lnkd.in/e4qTHdkx #typesofcare #fostering #portsmouth #hampshire
