"Not long after we first met we both agreed that fostering was something that we both would love to do. We were drawn to Credo Care as they specialise in foster placements for children with disabilities. We both feel that fostering a child with a disability was the right choice for us, as these children have so much to give that can often be overlooked by many."

"We got into disability fostering because we were asked to take on a child on with severe disabilities. Mum had walked in with a 4 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 on 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. "
