Foster Care

What is fostering? When children are at risk (young single mother living alone with baby) on drugs, when a girl underage is abused by step father, or young mother doesn't want unborn new baby then local council social services will take the child in their care, once taken in care it could take two weeks or two years or twenty years depending on the situation.
Once taken in care, they need a family to look after the child. There are many independent agencies in the country they can place with or they could place the child with their in house foster carers.
Once been placed with the family, they will pay you FAT fees one child from 360-to 400 pounds per week per child, this is called allowance. If you have space for three children you could get up to £1000.00per week.
If you are looking after a child with special needs you could get up to £600 per week. If you are a foster carer for the agency then you likely to get more money because independent agencies charge the council up £900 per week "a day light robbery". Each agency has over 100 children in their care, you can Imagine how much money they are making from those unfortunate children. But this is ok because this is there business, as long as you get half of that you should be happy.
The requirements are simple, you must have an extra room or rooms in your house/flat. You must have time, be keen, healthy and go through assessments. You will have to provide information on all your matters. A CRB check is crucial.
Once presented to the panel, the panel will recommend a decision maker for your approval. You will be notified of your approval, the children age range and the numbers of children you will look after this process will take over six months.
When the council needs a placement for a child in your your area, they will call you first. As a carer you will get support of social worker who will visit once a month, you look after the children,take care of there welfare, education, needs and health.
You must give proper care, spend time with them, take them out to the park, MacDonald, cinema, zoo,even in weddings, educate them about measuring life, show them your wedding photo albums, if you take them in Indian wedding trust me they will love Indian food and they will have children friendly meals at the weddings. They will make new friends and do not forget to take Indian wedding photography for there life story album. When they will leave your family they will have a picture of your family.
This placement could last days, weeks or years. Its dependent on whether the children go back to their own family or adopted by another family.
For more details you must contact your local council.
Anyway, before I end this article you must remember one thing at all time, this is that you are looking after other peoples children, you can not love them like your own, one day they will go, you can not keep them forever, you are a carer only then the key word is.
You must love money more then other peoples children, this is a full time job, you will get plenty money without going out to work.
