As Jeff and I have been foster carers for 3 years this month it seemed the right time to have Fostering as a topic for the A-Z. We're still new enough that we're not jaded yet, but have had a pretty bumpy ride, so fairly realistic in what fostering is really about.

Z IS FOR:
Here we go, another difficult one. I really need to pick an easier topic! The only thing I can think of is .....Zzzzzz - foster care can be exhausting. If you're the sort of individual that needs 8 hours sleep a night, and then you have a child that thinks 5am is a lay in, it can be a shock to the system. Our first placement was like that - within 3 days we were down the shops buying blackout blinds :)
Hi Suzanne - well done on finishing ... but I feel these write ups will be so informative for many, and for your and Jeff's journey ... I do admire you - all the best Hilary
