Birth Children
Birth Children are of huge importance in any fostering family. There is a large amount of academic research which has highlighted the positive impact on children within a fostering family.
There are short-term benefits such as
- sharing
- understanding behaviours
- developing relationships
- learning from other cultures
- …among many more.
The long-term benefits extend well into adulthood and there is suggestion that many birth children from fostering families go on to foster themselves or enter into caring professions.
