Children of Foster Carers' Week- Meet two incredible sisters who are celebrating the magic of gaining new family members!
Children of Foster Carers’ Week
Children of Foster Carers' Week is a time to shine a well deserved light on the incredible children and young people whose families foster. While foster carers provide love and stability, their birth children share their parents, their homes, and their hearts every day. They are the heroes of fostering..and two sisters, now 14 and 11, show us just how transformative that support can be.
A journey that started at 4 and 7
When these two sisters began their family's fostering journey as young girls, they couldn't contain their excitement, constantly asking, "When is someone coming?" Today, seven years later, they have grown into extraordinary big foster sisters.
From day one, they make every child feel at home, breaking the ice with games, bringing out toys, and filling the house with laughter.
Unconditional love and sisterly bonds
Their impact on their foster brothers and sisters.
The Eldest: Wrote a moving primary school speech about her love for fostering. She is also the person their little 'brother' calls for when he wakes up!
The Youngest: Is constantly chased for cuddles and games, and even created a stunning piece of artwork celebrating their family for her homework.
True Sisters: After welcoming a 'sister' into their home three years ago, all three girls recently celebrated the news that she is staying with them permanently on a long-term plan!
Maturity beyond their years
Fostering has its challenges. The sisters have learned to embrace everything from pamper nights with a young mum and her baby, to speaking up bravely when a placement wasn't working out.
While they love every child, they understand that not everyone can stay. As they prepare to say a sweet goodbye to a little boy moving to live with extended family, they are already looking forward to the next chapter.
Sharing your parents and home isn't easy, but these sisters do it with genuine joy. They are true foster care heroes, making the world a more loving place, one child at a time.
