Fostering in Birmingham
Are you looking for a fostering agency in Birmingham you can trust, support, and have a long career with? Then, you have come to the right place.
Fostering Options is a fostering agency based in Milton Keynes. We cover Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Derby, Wolverhampton, Leicester, and Nottingham.
Why should you foster?
Fostering is an incredibly rewarding job, providing comfort and safety for children who need a secure and loving home. Our fostering agency receives referrals from the Local Authority and it is our job to match the children and young people with suitable foster carers.
There are lots of children who need a secure and loving home at present.
We match our foster carers with children based on experience, religious and cultural backgrounds, location, other children or young people already in placement with the family and any birth children they may have. We want our children and young people to feel as comfortable as possible in their new homes.
Children come into foster care for many different reasons, from neglect, abuse, parental domestic violence, financial problems, health issues, and many more. These children and young people are looking for a temporary home where they are supported to access education, have a clean and private bedroom, and plenty of healthy meals.
We don't choose our foster carers on appearance, experience, or sexuality. We are open to recruiting anyone and everyone as long as you have spare bedrooms, are over 21, and are within our recruitment areas.
If you are in Birmingham and looking to foster, don't hesitate to request an information pack or book a call with us to find out more.
