Children and young adults that require foster care are in need of a secure and caring home environment. This kind of stability and affection can certainly be provided by gay men and women. The background checks we undertake to see if a person is suitable to be a foster carer are unbiased to gender, race or sexuality. We are simply committed to ensuring that the right child is paired with the right foster parent. So if you are gay and want to foster, you will get a positive response from Fostering2Inspire.
Gay men and women who wish to become foster carers will receive our backing in every way, because we believe that a loving, family environment need not be based on conventional family structures of the past. Instead, we feel strongly that at the heart of a caring supportive home is the simple desire and capacity to offer love, support, compassion and understanding.
So, if you are gay and feel ready to speak with us about fostering, or are simply looking for more information, Fostering2Inspire would be delighted to hear from you.
Fostering2Inspire are on hand to support you on every step of your fostering journey, from the first telephone call to the first day with your new young person and onwards from there. The ongoing support includes a 24/7 out-of-hours advice and assistance service, giving our foster carers support and advice when needed. The out-of-hours staff will know you and the children and young people you will care for.
Fostering a child will be life changing both for you and the child. You will learn as much about yourself and the important things in life as the child in your care will learn from you.
