Common Fostering Myths

Some common fostering myths are that you must own your own home, be married or have kids of your own. Because of these myths people are deterred from enquiring, however, in reality the criteria to foster is not as strict as you may think. If you are renting through a Private landlord or agency, all that is required is written permission that you can use the house to foster. As long as you have a spare room, you are perfectly eligible to foster. Your relationship status is not considered when fostering, and there is no requirement for you to already have children of your own, with the only condition being that you show relevant childcare experience.

Of course, these are just physical requirements, and there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration when deciding to foster. Fostering a child is an extreme commitment, therefore, you will need to have the time and resources to fully commit to being the child’s parent. Furthermore, many of these children have had a difficult experience of life so far, therefore you need to have the emotional confidence to be able to deal and help them in their next stage of their lives.
