Having your own children is BRILLIANT experience for being a foster carer! It?s definitely not a barrier to you providing a loving, stable home for other children to enjoy.

1. It usually means that you feel like you?ve made a positive difference to your own children?s lives and want others to experience this too?
   
   
2. You?ll actually find that your own children will help to create that ?family atmosphere? that is so important in helping new children to learn to settle
   
   
3. We?ll help you to consider all of the options, especially around age differences
   
   
4. As long as you have a spare bedroom in your home to give a child the space they need, of course you can still foster even if your own children are still at home.
