Don't rule yourself out without speaking to us , you could be missing out on the time of your life. " I've heard people talk about the rewards of fostering and it is something that I find impossible to sum up in words. It is just a fantastic feeling to know that our family has helped a girl to become so much more mature and confident than when she first came to us. It is a daily pleasure to see her smiling and happy." Fostering and Adoption Every day single people as well as couples become foster families or adopters. They include parents and grandparents as well as people who do not have their own children. They all go on to change a child's life and get a lot of fun and fulfilment in return. Nervous about taking on the challenge? Don't be.
