I know the facts say that it's absolutely fine to be a foster carer even if you are not a parent yourself but is there anyone out there who is actually doing this? And how on Earth did you manage to be approved?
I just had a 'no' to carry on to training based only on their concern that although I have a lot of experience with children through work & volunteering I don't have enough experience of looking after children in my own home....
Wait, what?
When I asked how I could get this experience I was basically told to come back to them later after I'd had my own family.
I'm so confused. So... I guess that's the end of that?
