Single and Fostering - UK Fostering

Fostering was something that only amazing couples
and families did to help young people in need and
not something a single person did. Especially a
60 year old! Single and Fostering- At least that
is what I thought until about a year ago, when I
was helping a recently arrived young refugee. He
had been travelling on his own for 4 years
fleeing his war torn homeland, so far away. He
had known me as one of the volunteers in the
Calais Jungle and had been given my number for
emergencies.

Clinging to my arm, fear in his eyes as we tried
to manoeuvre our way through the process of
presenting for asylum via the Police Station,
where Child Services had told us to take him. An
apologetic social worker arrived six hours later
saying that was a mistake and they had been
trying to find emergency care since. I was asked
if I would be able to take him for the night if
they failed, and I said I would happily take him
long term which then opened up the conversation
about the possibility of fostering.

The reality of becoming a foster carer was
becoming real as my determination to give that
young man a home, became ever stronger. But then
followed the process of the system and the long
and thorough assessment to see if I was
suitable. Was I? I kept asking myself. I had
never been a mother or had to care for a young
person living in my house and I had not even been
married. But I had devoted a huge amount of my
life to working with and helping young people,
particularly mentoring through art with young
people who had suffered trauma. I can do this!
