After much thought we have decided to become foster parents, and to do so with a teenage. At this point you are probably thinking 'are they completely mad?'
Well, yes, probably. Despite being kinda busy with other stuff, like working and parenting Verity, we figure we would be quite good at sorting out a teenager.
It takes a long time to get approved for fostering, around nine months, and during that time we will find out a lot more about what it takes, and of course might get rejected. But if we do clear all the hurdles, and they don't manage to put us off along the way, we could have a new tearaway by the end of the year.
