It is possible to foster when you have young children of your own, and many families do so successfully. The decision will depend on your family’s circumstances, your ability to meet the needs of both your own children and any foster children, and whether you have enough space and time to provide the care required. We work closely with you to make sure any placement is a good match for your household, and we provide training and support to help your whole family adjust. Involving your children in the process and preparing them for the changes fostering brings can help everyone feel included and supported.
