Episode 2 – Fostering with a family
How do you navigate fostering with a family of your own? How do you start a conversation about fostering with your children? In this episode we sit down with Vicky, a Foster Carer with a young family of her own, who shares her family’s experience of opening their home and hearts to fostering.
This open, honest and inspiring conversation includes everything from why they decided to foster, to becoming a foster family of 7 (8 including Chester the dog!) and everything in between.
Episode 1 – The Voice of a Foster Sibling
What’s it like to be a foster sibling? How do children of foster carers feel when their parent/s say they want to foster another child? In this episode we sit down with Nathan, a birth child of foster carers who shares his experience, from his parents sitting him down to discuss the possibility of becoming a fostering family, to forming lifelong bonds as a foster sibling and why he wants to be a Foster Carer when he’s old enough.
This heart-warming conversation offers an honest, uplifting, and inspiring perspective from a young man who is changing the lives of other children as a foster sibling.
