    There’s so many great videos like this about kids in care, which is great, but I’d love to see the bbc actually do some documentaries on foster families themselves, and how fostering impacts the birth children. My mum is a foster carer and I think this could be a really good documentary idea

      Sophina Sartori this is a great idea and something we’ve said needs doing too! Our parents have fostered for about 8 years I think and it’s not always easy as rewarding as it is

    We are Foster Carers specifically for teenagers here in England as they are our chosen age group. Our 18-year-old young lady has just left us to go to a university hundreds of miles away. She achieved it because we kept her in a calm, steady, safe and caring environment, which enabled her to really concentrate on her studies. We also made sure she had the independence and life skills to succeed in the next stage of her life. Thankfully, they have a professional support system at the university to keep an eye on her and we will stay in touch too. I do hope that the young ladies featured in your video will also be supported to succeed in life. Wishing all concerned the very best of luck. xx

    Wishing her and all girls and boys like these the best luck in life. I am a mother of boys desperate for a little girl to look after, sadly adoption and Fostering is so expensive and there are so many loops to jump through otherwise I'd definitely be able to give another child a good loving home. Sending love to you girls xxx

    When i was 5 years old my father took me from my mother with her conscent, to live with him and his new wife.
    It quickly bacame apparent to me that she took an instant dislike to me, more like hatered. She had four children of her own. Anyway the abuse started off almost immediately making me stand in the corner of the room facing the wall for absolutely no reason that a five year old child would understand anyway. The days went on with low level mental abuse, well to a five year old boy it was devastating. My father was a long distant driver so all this abuse took place when he was out, but he could see that I was unhappy there. So her four children started to bully me and attacked me in the house. They had a dog that use to nip me, and they would all just laugh. I started to hear her mother say to her, "Why don't you just dump him somewhere." So after a year of mental tourment at the hands of everyone in that house, she finally decided to take her mothers advice and dump me on the street I was only 6 years. So Social services placed me with a foster family but after a year the moved me to a children's home. That was a blow to me because I became part of a loving family. When I was 8 years old they moved me to another children's gome where I stayed for 8 years. I left the children's home when I was 16, then they moved me to another children's home for a year, then when I was 17 they moved me to an half way house to get me use to an independant life. I left the care system as I went in feeling alone, worried, & affraid. Of course i have not put every awful experience in this post. Thank You.......................................

      Why did they never manage to contact your biological mother to take you back? I’m so confused because if you were taken from her without her consent that sort of suggests that she didn’t want to part with you

      The system and those adults failed you and no-one should ever be treated like that - especially not a child. I hope you are doing better and wish you all the success. One day you will have a family of your own and unconditional love - give your children a beautiful childhood

    100 years back people of North East India need great missionary and UK produce such people like William Carey , William Pettigrew etc who help us see Jesus and become Christ follower. Now I think UK need people who can show them Christ and become a great nation. the home Great saints like John Newton, William Pettigrew, William Carey cannot end in vain when they sacrifice their life for Jesus in North East India. My prayer with the people of UK. May God revive the Christian generation once again. Only in Christ family is there no homelessness, no starvation. Christ family is rule by Love.
