If you become a short-term foster carer, children will come to stay with you until they can either return home or move on to a new permanent home.
Short-term carers Terry and Barbara say: "When we get the photos out it makes us think about all the children and all the times we have had. Some photos have us laughing and some still bring a lump to our throats. We will never forget any of them. And they never forget us. We must get the biggest sack of Christmas cards in Leicester."
Short-term fostering can be exciting and very rewarding. Over the years, you will play a vital part in helping many children.
Children often feel upset and confused about living away from home. So, as well as offering a welcoming home, you will also need to be a good listener and comforter.
