Meet Anthony and Richard – Foster Carers Making a Difference in the Vale

When Anthony and Richard adopted their son through Vale of Glamorgan Council, they were inspired by the love and care shown by the incredible foster carer who cared for their son before he found his forever home.

Just five months ago, they decided to follow in her footsteps and become foster carers themselves.

“We adopted our son through The Vale of Glamorgan Council and were inspired by his wonderful foster carer. She did an incredible job, and we saw first-hand the impact her love and care had on our son’s development. Her dedication and compassion moved us deeply and planted the seed for something more.

Her great example inspired us not only to open our home to those who need a safe and loving environment but also to support others on their journey – whether they are prospective adoptive parents, or birth families.”

Like with all our Local Authority foster carers, our expert Foster Wales team will be providing all the support they need – from training to friendly Whatsapp groups!
