Foster Carers

It must be easy, amongst all the excitement, to forget that these children have been cared for by their current foster carers (and other before them) for a long time. I wanted to take a moment to remember them, to acknowledge the care that they have provided and to recognise how hard it must be to have to prepare the children to move on and to have to say goodbye.

Foster caring is such a hard and thankless task that I have the utmost respect for all those who open their homes to children (and to social services) at the time when it is most needed. I am not sure I would be able to do it.
