You are helping to make a generation of wonderful men. THANKS

.@JennyColesDCS shares her fictional elevator pitch with with Chancellor. Echoes other participants, we need funding to cover actual costs and funding that's sustainable, we need to be able to plan to know where we are #NCASC20
@AquilaPipp1e@Wriggles10@SSHerts1@HCCFosterAdopt@fosteringnet It really is @AquilaPipp1e, they are my extended family. I have been challenged, pushed, pulled, liked, hated, depended on, confided in & so much more. It’s been an emotional roller coaster of a ride which I’m not ready to get off anytime soon !!!
I have mentioned it before but good to put it out there if anyone who follows me might be thinking of #Fostering@HCCFosterAdopt are Fab , their whole focus is on looking for better ways to support carers and kids, they are not perfect but man, they try hard. @SSHerts1
Parents check out the information here. HPCI has been working with HCC to get the right sort of information out in a way that families can understand and access
@thejoolsnewman@HCCFosterAdopt@SSHerts1 Yep ,and doing all this knowing that at some stage they may well move on from your care ,you may not get to see them again and they will absolutely break your 💕💕
Being a foster Carer is not simply looking after a child, its loving them, teaching them, protecting them, enforcing boundaries whilst sometimes getting absolutely nothing back but with the hope that we do make a difference. @Wriggles10@HCCFosterAdopt@SSHerts1#fosterwithherts
