Why they do it ?

"After 12 years it is such a natural part of family life to do emergency fostering. Our own family has grown by 3 lovely girls coming through the emergency care system.

Whenever a new baby arrives, I come home from work to see excited children all wanting to tell me about the new baby. Vivien, the children and I, all thrive on the challenge of giving the emergency foster children, unconditional love.

The people we come into contact with on a daily basis always ask after the children and it is satisfying that we can do something for the community."
