"Always make sure they have a blanket when they leave. Don't wash it, as it needs to have a familiar smell to help them settle. Even our 16-year old took a blanket with her." -- Dr.h.c Jenny Molloy, Author, Adviser and Trainer for Looked After Children, Care Leavers Patron for The British Association of Social Workers England This is a great guide, packed full of information and insight about how best to navigate the world of fostering. -- Isabelle Trowler, Chief Social Worker for Children It's the book I wish I'd had when I was considering fostering and in my first few years. -- Maxine Taylor, Foster carer
