What our foster carers say about fostering with us…
“I am FCA’s biggest supporter. I cannot give you a negative about them – there’s no one that I’ve came across that hasn’t been able to help me. My supervising social worker is amazing and there’s always someone at the end of the phone or e-mail. Just do it, do not wait, trust your gut and just absolutely go for it… and do not be scared to ask questions.”
Michelle, FCA Scotland Foster Carer
“Fostering has its challenges, no twos days are ever the same, and when you think you’ve overcome one challenge and seen it all, something comes along and surprises you. But it’s got to be the most rewarding job I’ve ever done. I worked previously as a nursery nurse for 21 years, but with fostering, the rewards outweigh all the challenges.”
Denise, FCA Scotland Foster Carer
We were both working full-time and had a good life but we always felt that there was something we could offer. We helped these children build up their self-esteem and fit into the world, a journey which was made easier by the support of our social workers, therapists, and the team at FCA Scotland. We would highly recommend them as a fostering agency.”
Mary and Billy, FCA Scotland Foster Carers
