From people who came through it
“Para quien empieza como familia de acogida: no te voy a mentir, hay días que parece que no das una. El trabajo de historia de vida es duro, el panel te pone nervioso y los adolescentes mienten y vapean. Pero también hay momentos buenos. Busca a alguien con quien hablar, como yo con Kerry. Y ten paciencia contigo misma.”
sundayspark · been through adoption and foster care“to anyone just starting out with fostering or adoption: it's not going to be like you imagine, and that's okay. some days you'll feel like you're getting it all wrong. i've been doing this for 8 years and i still have days where i want to hide in the shed. but you learn. you learn that the small wins matter more than the big ones. and you learn to ask for help, even when it's the last thing you want to do. you're not doing it alone, even if it feels like it.”
Second Oak · been through adoption and foster care“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Back then it was the adoption panel. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.”
trisha.garden · been through adoption and foster care“I was where you are in 2022. Foster caring for 8 years. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
