Children who are fostered

There’s no two children we foster who are the same, and that’s because we know that all children and young people have their own unique identity. And that’s great... we like individuality!

So I guess what this page shows is that fostered children are of all ages and come from all sorts of backgrounds. It also shows that the looked after children we foster can stay with a one of our fostering families for a variation of times.

Take a look at the types of foster children that we look after at Fostering People, and see how enjoyable foster care can be.

And if you're welcoming a looked after child or young person into the family then he's a brief insight as to the type of people you could be meeting...
