Long Term Fostering vs Adoption

As a fostering and adoption agency, we often talk about best outcomes for children and young people in the care system but those best outcomes can look very different depending on the child and circumstances.

Whilst some children will be reunited with their birth family and others will go on to be adopted, many more children will be fostered through to adulthood, if a suitable family is found.

Meet carers who have fostered a child on a long term basis as we discuss the ins and outs of fostering and adoption - the practical and emotional implications - and explore why adoption isn't always the answer for those children looking for long term stability.
