In This House We Said Yes To Foster Care

Has your family decided to become foster carers?

Being a fostering family is an incredible role. Maybe it’s your parents, your grandparents or someone else in your family who has begun the process.
You might have some questions about what it’s like, or why children have to be in foster care or how long they are going to be with you. Fostering is quite a unique job, there’s nothing really quite like it! You will have the opportunity to meet different children and invite them into your family. This isn’t always easy, but there are lots of things that are great about it too.
This book is for children who are involved in welcoming fostered children into their home, answering some of the questions they might have, with input from children who are already fostering. 

This 70 page paperback book focusses on the themes of why children might be in foster care, what a day in the life of a fostering family might look like, different types of fostering, the best bits and the worst bits according to kids who already foster, the different type of kids who might join your family, the process from the initial assessment to a child leaving, who's who, some terms you might hear, what confidentiality means in fostering, family time, and saying goodbye. 

With cartoon style illustrations and engaging pages, this book is aimed at children aged 5-15.
