"We got into disability fostering because we were asked to take on a child on with severe disabilities. Mum had walked in with a four-month-old child in her arms, placed him in mine, and from that moment we were hooked. He was expected to live on for about a year, but in fact lived until he was seven-and-a-half. At that point, we took stock and thought that we really couldn't just move on from what he has taught us; we needed to use that somehow. So, we started the process with Credo Care, and decided to do it full-time."

"You start to see them relax, enjoy themselves and they start to trust you. It's the most wonderful thing to see them relax when there's a procedure to be done - we've had one little girl who was particularly close to Andrew; it would all come very naturally. You can't buy that sort of thing, you can't be paid for that sort of thing... It's very special to the heart and we're very grateful for those times. "

"Our decision to foster was a big one as we're already a big family; fostering would have a big effect on all of their lives. The wait to be approved and to finally match with a child was a long one,  but it was definitely worth it in the end and all of the family absolutely love them! He's just like another little brother and everyone's really happy."
