1
00:00:03,715 --> 00:00:06,552
The best thing about being a foster carer...
2
00:00:06,552 --> 00:00:16,229
It's seeing how they progress, it's just enjoying them,
working with them, and just being on their side.
3
00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:23,514
It was about 20 years ago that I had
a friend who had been fostering for a while.
4
00:00:23,635 --> 00:00:27,029
We'd always put it off because we had
two children that were growing up
5
00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:31,605
and then when they were in school and
university, we decided, "right, let's go for it."
6
00:00:31,605 --> 00:00:34,649
We made an inquiry and
haven't looked back since.
7
00:00:37,351 --> 00:00:39,465
I love looking after children.
8
00:00:39,579 --> 00:00:44,738
It's something that I've always enjoyed
doing, even when my children were little.
9
00:00:45,395 --> 00:00:47,141
It's just very rewarding.
10
00:00:47,141 --> 00:00:53,132
It has its hard times, don't get me wrong,
but I wouldn't change it for the world.
11
00:00:53,228 --> 00:00:55,486
Yeah, it gives you a little bit of a buzz.
