Angela Hart
I saw an advert in the local paper: ‘Foster Carers Wanted’ and knew it was something I’d love to do. As a child I had a friend whose family fostered, and I often asked my mother if we could do the same. I was convinced fostering would be like caring for flowers: if we provided the right environment, nourished them well and treated them with love and respect, everything would be rosy. It wasn’t like that at all! Each child had a unique set of problems, some incredibly sad, others very shocking. We found ourselves immersed in a care system we knew nothing about, yet soon found impossible to leave. I thrived on the challenge and rewards of being a foster mum, and when I discovered I was not able to have children of my own, I didn’t miss a beat. I trained as a specialist carer for teenagers with complex needs, and have fostered more than 50 children over the past 27 years.
