Why do children need care?
Children can come into care for a variety of reasons which could include neglect, abuse, bereavement and war.

What type of children are you likely to get?
They are children who will have experienced difficulties in their lives and need a nurturing family who are prepared to work with them. They could be children with physical disabilities, emotional and attachment difficulties, or other special needs, requiring special care, attention and understanding.
