Can aI foster if I don’t have children of my own?
Lots of people ask us this question – so let’s just go ahead and dispel another of those fostering myths!
Many of our foster carers have raised their own family and of course we value their parenting experience.
But – you don’t need to have parented in order to foster with us – and there are other ways to gain the skills which will help you to support and care for a child or young person.
This could be through work, either paid or voluntary, or through your own extended family, for example.
There’ll also be lots of training and support along your fostering journey, to make sure you have all the help and advice you need, including local support groups and your own dedicated social worker.
We offer generous financial packages and the emotional rewards are enormous, too!
So make that call today or visit www.northyorks.gov.uk/fostering for more info
