sons and daughters

Fostering has definitely changed mine and my family's life.

Me, my mum, dad and brother Tris have fostered for lots of years. We’ve had lots and lots of children come and go - some staying all their lives and some just for a while. But of all the children that have come Lewis was my favourite. He was a very Special Brother. He had loads of special needs. He couldn’t walk talk or see but he could laugh for England. I am very proud of my brother he was the BRAVEST, he had lots of pain but still laughed.

Iqra's blog is written from her perspective as a fostered young woman.

I love having my big foster brother and sister. I came from my mummy's tummy and she looks after them and me.

Hi My name is Joshua and my mum has fostered for four years and fosters babies. We have had five babies including twins and I love all of them.

The Fostering Network’s Sons & Daughters campaign coordinator Catherine Holland has been speaking to Gemma from Stockton Borough Council about their participation in last year’s campaign.​

So, October's Sons & Daughters campaign has come to an end and with it, our blogging competition.

Our blogging competition officially closed for entries last night; this year we've had more blogs than we've ever had! Our judges are reading them all and will have a really tough job picking the three winners, which we'll announce on Monday 4th November. We'd like to thank everybody who entered a blog; we had great fun reading them all and hope you all did too. Here are a bumper crop of blogs for you to enjoy!
