Is foster care starting to sound like a possibility? It’s a good idea to approach a fostering service and find out more information about the process. Your local area may have more several fostering services, so make a list and decide which ones you want to approach. Factors to consider when choosing include the support they offer, the type of foster carers they need to recruit, whether they pay fees for your skills and experience and what the weekly allowance is that you will be given to spend on the child in your care.
