Publisher's Synopsis
This short guide to what fostering entails will help dispel outdated myths about who can and cannot foster. It will encourage anyone, regardless of age, income, health and location, to consider coming forward to offer a home, usually on a short-term basis, to some of the many children who cannot live with their birth families. Like the earlier Adopting a Child, this little book describes the sorts of children needing to be fostered and why; their legal status; who can foster; who to approach if you want to apply; and much more information besides.
