In this episode of 'Voices of Fostering,' Ruth, a dedicated foster carer for 15 months, shares her inspiring journey into fostering. A former teacher and mother of three, Ruth always aspired to foster but only began the process after reconnecting with a friend who was also a foster carer. Ruth discusses the rigorous yet necessary assessment process, emphasising that fostering is a viable option for older individuals. She advocates for fostering teenagers and asylum seekers, attributes her success to the support of her fostering agency, and highlights the emotional rewards and cultural enrichment fostering has brought to her life. Ruth also touches upon her plans to welcome a second foster child soon.

Hello and welcome to this episode of Voices of Fostering, where I'm delighted to be joined by one of our lovely foster carers today. Welcome Ruth.

Thank you

Nice to be here. It's lovely to have you here, Ruth. And it's lovely to have somebody in person as well. We do so much virtual stuff these days. It's really nice to have you here on the sofa.
