We recently held a really positive Preparation to Foster training, with eight people joining us. Over the two days, they learned more about fostering, met some of our team and heard directly from foster carers about their experiences.

Think you can't foster because you work? You might want to think again.❤️ We've seen a couple of articles recently challenging some of the common misconceptions around fostering – including the idea that you have to give up work – like this one orlo.uk/EwMzj

❤️ “It’s completely life changing.” We’re sharing this story about Shamser, an #adopter from England, who talks about his experience of becoming a dad. More than 2 years on, he describes it as a joy. It’s a great insight into a person’s adoption journey. orlo.uk/ZXGaC

We really liked this message from foster carers in England - orlo.uk/op0Co ♥️ You don’t need to be an expert to foster. You don’t need to have all the answers. What you do need is the willingness to learn, listen and give a child a safe, caring and supportive home.

We really need more #fostercarers and #adopters in Angus, so it’s important we keep getting out there, raising awareness and giving people the chance to learn more. We spoke to a couple of people interested in fostering today, which is a great result.

A lot of people don’t realise that you get paid as a foster carer. 🤔 At Angus Council, foster carers receive a fee in recognition of the valuable role they play, along with an allowance to cover the costs of caring for a child (such as food, clothing etc).

Now the children are back at school, life can start to feel a little quiet. Maybe your own children are becoming more independent or perhaps a spare room isn't needed in the same way.🤔 If fostering is something you’ve thought about, now could be the perfect time to revisit it.
