There are 43,000 foster families in the UK - meet 12 of them. The Fostering Network has searched high and low across the UK to find the faces of foster care. Here they share their stories and experiences with you. The 11 faces of foster care reflect the diverse range of people currently caring for the 50,000 children in foster care on any one day in the UK. Some care for teenagers, others care for children with disabilities or offer respite care for other foster carers. All have unique and inspirational experiences to share.
