The true impact of a foster career and the effects and relationships built is something that’s so hard to describe, even if it doesn’t work out with each placement I’ve learnt something different good and bad #fostercare #careleaver #care #careexperienced
I went into foster care when I was 8 years old something that was so unimaginable being separated from the only chaotic life I knew, I was petrified but to this day there’s a guy I call my dad who happened to be the first foster parents I went to #fostercare #careleaver #love
But 7 years ago we sadly lost him the guy I called my dad and I will forever hold all the lessons he taught me all the laughs we had, the ups and the downs the holidays, the pictures, the games of pick up sticks the guy I will forever call my dad #FosterCare #careleaver #family
as I’ve grown up I’ve realised how much you impacted my life not only my life but everything I carry with me today you taught me the value of what a dad actually meant you accepted all of me not just part of me even when I ruined your house #fostercare #carelever #imattered
You sat and you would listen, you showed me no matter what I done I mattered and the time I didn’t see it but I can see how much you loved me and how much you worried about me when I was 10/11 years old going missing for days on end you would be out looking for me #fostercare
You showed me I mattered when I thought I didn’t matter at all, you loved me when I thought I was unloveable and you never gave up on me when I gave up on myself These are the things people never saw, the words people never Hurd foster carers matter #fostercare #careleaver #care
