Christina and Suzy shared their story with us on Newstalk and one line really stayed with us 💜

“You know that you made a difference.”

As a same s*x couple, their fostering journey is a beautiful reminder that love, care and consistency are what truly make a home. Their story is a lovely example of the difference a welcoming family can make to a child in care. 🏳️‍🌈

Keeping siblings together 💜

When children come into care, being able to stay together can make a huge difference. Shared memories, familiar faces and that built in bond can bring comfort during a time of change.

At Orchard Fostering, we know how important sibling connections are, and we do our best to support placements that keep brothers and sisters together where possible.

If you would like to know more, we are here to chat.

Could you offer a baby a safe, steady start? 💛

Babies need calm, consistency and care from day one. For some children, fostering begins in the very earliest moments of life, and the comfort they feel then can stay with them for years to come.

If you think you could provide that kind of start, we would love to hear from you.

There is no single definition of a foster carer. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who can provide a caring and supportive home for a child or young person.

If you've ever considered fostering, we'd love to hear from you.
