Here at Familyplacement we'd like to say a BIG thank you to all the children of our foster carers and celebrate the important contribution they make to foster care.

Ryan has Down's Syndrome and other health issues. An emergency placement led to adoption, and now he's thriving.

A lot can happen in a year. Lives can change for the better, almost beyond recognition. That’s what’s happened with Marie and Carol.

I’ve been living with Jennifer and Michael for a few years now and, thanks to them, I’ve learnt how to be a happy, responsible young man.

After coming from foster care and ending up in prison, Tim turned his life around and became a foster parent.

As respite care turned into a long term placement, foster carer Diane received support that made all the difference to the care of her transgender teen.

Laura came to us straight from hospital, as a 2-year-old who was the size of a 3-month old baby due to severe neglect.
