Becoming a foster parent is a selfless decision and one which can really change the life of a young person. Being an experienced fostering agency, we know just what a commitment it is to start caring for another person and always encourage our applicants to talk through all their options before making a final decision.
While it may seem a challenge to start caring for a young person, there are many reasons to become a foster parent. These include:
- You can help a child form long lasting relationships: When you invite a foster child into your home, it can be the start of a life-long bond between carer and child. Being able to create a relationship early on can help the young person in later life as well when they look to form adult friendships.
- You have a caring nature: If your number one aim of becoming a foster parent is to change the life of a young person then the role is definitely something you should consider. Having the necessary parental instincts to look after a foster child is a strong indicator that fostering could be for you.
- Children need care: Every year, tens of thousands of children across the UK require care for a number of different reasons. There may have been a breakdown in family relationships, or maybe the child has been neglected or abused in some way. No matter the reason every child will be vulnerable and require loving care and attention.
Here at Fostering2Inspire we aim to make fostering a fulfilling experience and here is what one couple had to say about their time with us:

This illustrates just how rewarding fostering can be and our team are on hand 24/7 to offer any support and guidance which may be required.
