From the Cover of Welcome to Fostering by Andy Elvin & Martin Barrow:

“What should you expect when you’re expecting to foster? This book is the perfect guide to taking the first critical steps of your fostering journey, explaining what fostering is, how to become a foster carer, and what it takes to thrive as one.

Combining invaluable advice from veteran foster carers, the expertise of the professional network that supports them, and the priceless experiences of foster children themselves, this is the one companion for those considering fostering or who are at the start of their fostering lives.”
