There has been an awful lot written about attachment disorder and you aren’t a foster carer for very long before you attend at least some training on the subject. Some of what’s written is very academic so I thought it might be useful to simplify it.

My family – me, my mum, my dad and my three younger brothers. It had been like this for four-and-a-half years when my mum took on a job that was different and more difficult than any other job she’d had or ever will have. It involved us all, not just her – my dad, me, my brothers and our home, our family life. My brothers and I never really understood what the job would involve, Ruaridh, my youngest brother was only four and I was 10. Yet, I now don’t see it as a job, it is way more than that to all of us. It is one of the best experiences of my life and I love it.

My name is Robbie and this is my second time doing this. Just want everyone to know its a cool thing to be a foster bro to so many different babies and children who all end up feeling like part of my family. For example we had a baby who got adopted when he was two-and-a-half, and last week we were at his christening and he still feels like part of my family. His new mum and dad are like my aunt and uncle - fostering has just extended our family.
