Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I phoned the social services on Monday, and was told that they had an advertisement about fostering Mary. They sent me a single photocopied A4 sheet with pictures of smiling children, and no details about what was actually involved.#2 I was eventually approved to foster, but it took a long process. I was told to describe in fifty words why I wanted to foster, and why I thought I could provide a child with a loving home. I wrote that I wanted to be parents and that I knew how to parent from the examples my own parents had given me.#3 After a two-hour information evening, we were ready to receive our first child. Susan phoned me two days later and said that she would be bringing Jack to us that evening. He’s fifteen, she said. Most of the children we are placing now are teenagers. Don't worry, Jack won't give you any trouble.
