I am bio parent of a fostered child. Child was not given up willingly by me. Went to foster care when 9 with family, now almost 18 and has contacted me. Wants to have contact but I know she has hatred for me and can not explain to her new family.Do I explain for her? I fear if I do this she will run again. Never wanted to loose my child, always tried to contact her, but foster carers intervened, so lost contact. Never stopped loving her and would dearly love to see her. She only lives 20 minutes away by car. What do I do? Anyone out there who has been in the same situation? I do not know how to go about this. Any answers greatfully appreciated. (more...)

im severely disabled by an incurable kidney disease and suffer with bad depression. i have carers in 3times a day,1 that i thought i got on with shocked the hell out of me, my son caught him going though my cupboards for no reason and gave my son such an evil look that my son came into me and told me what was happening, i shouted out and asked him what he was looking for, he just replied nothing mate. my son went back to his mums, i have a cctv that i use to cover my front door to see who`s there before i push the button that opens the door but on a monday i moved it and stuck it on top of my fridge\freezer with blue tack so i could see what, if anything, he got up to. he`s meant to be with me for 30 mins in the morning but on this particular morning he only stayed for 15mins and also sat in a completely different chair, which at the time was strange but i didnt think anything of it. Imagine my shock+horror then, when i played back the recording to see him spitting into my cup before pouring the hot water in and carrying on as if nothing happened until he turned to put the milk away, he then spotted the camera and let out a groan as he shut the fridge. THATS why he sat in the different chair to look into the cabinet at the dvd recorder and saw that it was recording as the counter was going and the power on led was lit up. I was worried about reporting it for fear of a backlash from the other carers but my daughter said i had to report it in case he was doing worse to other clients that had no other family or visitors. She took the phone and rang the care agency and told them what had happened, one of the management came out and had a look, but before she came out,after the phone call to the agency, the carer came back, waltzing in like he owned the place,he wasnt expecting anyone to be there with me, luckily for me my daughter heard the door opening and was quick enough to to block his entrance, a heated discussion ensued, ending with him being thrown out. When the senior heard what had happened it was then that we heard that she had telephoned him telling him NOT to contact me in any way at all...... im being told so many things that i dont know who to believe or what to do,there was a meeting with both the managers and my care manager in my flat and the main manager wasnt convinced and kept making excuses for the obvious spitting motion. my care manager said to let her know what i wanted done, i rang her after the weekend+said i wanted it taken further, she then said to me to ring the police, this might sound stupid but i find it daunting to make any phone calls, even to people i know. i have spent the last 5 or more years living on my own and rarely going out, i cant walk any distance or stand hardly, the pains i get from this kidney disease is worse, (so i`ve been told) than giving birth, to me it feels like im constantly being kicked in the groin. im so unsure of what to do, i have spent ages looking round the net trying to find some form of help or advice, im not sleeping, even though my keybox code has been changed, hes still working and im worried that he`ll get the new number from one of the other carers by spinning them a yarn about forgetting the number.. i have more than enough stuff that i cant cope with without anything else. I just feel so let down again, as usual by people that are meant to be helping me. thnx i would like to thank all you people for your very helpful advice, i honestly dont know who has given me the best answer, i think you all have been fantasticaly honest. Im still not heard anything from the care agency that he works for and he IS still working, the manageress told me not to tell any other carers about it but as they dont seem to have done anything at all i have been telling all the other carers that have been calling on me,all of them have been stunned to say the least, the worst thing for me is the amount of damage he has done to the way i feel about others coming into my home to help me, I know its unfair to not trust but i cant help it.....i have the urge now to want to stand and watch them but i just cant stand long enough. There is 3 or 4 carers that I do feel safe about but its getting the company to send me those carers on a regular basis, once again, thank you very much, take care James L (more...)

My husband died suddenly in 1997 when my son was 5. Social Services said I could not look after him properly and they put him into foster care against my wishes. I am upset because I'm only allowed to see him 6 times a year for 4 hours each time; and he has been sexually assaulted in 2 of the 4 placements he has been in. I'm not allowed to speak to him except in the presence of the contact supervisor. I am not allowed to complain because I have been threatened that I will lose contact with him altogether if I do. Also, because he is in care I have lost my Child Benefit (currently £18 per week) and my WMA (currently about £190 per week), in total over £10 000 per year. The foster carer gets over £500 per week but I haven't had any expenses paid back to me. Both my son and I have a slight learning disability. After my husband died I had Outreach Support Workers visiting me about 3 times a week for about an hour each visit. I felt I was caring for my son properly: he had 100% attendance at school and I made sure he went to all his medical appointments. After about 2 years of my husband dieing a Child At Risk Initial Case Conference was arranged. It was decided that my son be put on the At Risk Register for emotional abuse. On a subsequent conference 3 months later, neglect was added. Social Services argued that because of his learning disability and my learning disability I would not be able to parent him adequetly especially when he became a teenager. The case was heard in the High Court but all parties had agreed before the hearing started that it was in my sons best interest that he is placed in Local Authority care. My parents were also a (seperate) party but they were deemed to be too old and frail to be able to care for my son. Regarding the sexual assault. In his first placement during contact with his grandmother my son revealed to her that an older boy at the same placement had sexually abused him. My mother and I queried this with the foster carer. Both of us received threatening letters from my son's Social Worker's Team Leader. We were told that if we made any more unauthorised contact with the foster carer my son would be moved to another placement that would be kept secret from us. They moved him to a secret placement. He was also abused there, luckily this time a foster carer witnessed it and reported it and I was called to a meeting. They now seemed to accept that what my son said that happened to him in his first placement was true. He was moved from here to another secret address as these foster carers felt they were not qualifyed or experienced enough to deal with and support a child who had been assaulted in this manner. I'd love to have my son back home with me. It was reports from a psychologist appointed by all 4 parties that stated my son and I have a learning disability. I refer to the welfare benefits that I received as "my money" because these were paid in MY name. I had, of course, used it for my son. CB is a fixed amount the WMA (only payable when in receipt of CB) consists of a fixed amount plus a NI contribution based element that was based on my late husbands NI contributions. I reported the incident of assault at my sons second placement to the police. They have not contacted me regarding this and its 5 years ago now. The point I was making was that I (my son and I) have been hit financialy on top of the emotional trauma caused by taking him into care. He was never mistreated with me. (more...)

Just over three weeks ago I became the primary carer for my little brother (13 months). I am an 18 yr old guy and our mom died a few months ago and I agreed to help out my dad and not go to college as planned until he can get things more stabilized. He works 50-60 hrs+ per week and we can't afford child care so it's really on me. I am effectively a stay at home brother. At first I was really nervous about looking after my brother and learning about all that was involved. I also realized my dad needed me to do more of the other things too, like housework and cooking and laundry and stuff like that and I am the one at home all day. But this past week I've really been struggling with things and just feel lethargic and bored. Not so much with my brother. He is okay and I always put him first. But other stuff, anything I can put off, even shopping and laundry is being put off until the last minute. I thought maybe I was depressed/grieving, but I think that maybe true but is a bit BS as well. I think it is boredom mostly. I have lost contact with friends who have gone to college now or got jobs and I am at home. I just waste hours on the net, watching my brother play or spend a bit of time with him, but then I go back to the computer and I don't feel any motivation to do the cleaning or pick up, or laundry until it just piles up. My Dad got a bit annoyed with me this week and asked me if I was really serious about helping him or not. I am, but the stuff outside of my brother bores me. Any ideas on how I can work through this?

This is for people who were adopted out of foster care, (but anyone who is associated with fostering can answer too.) When you decided to search for your birth parents do also look for the foster parents if you didn't keep in touch? The reason I ask this is that we keep in touch with my children's foster carers because they raised them for six months of their life. I feel they played an important role in their early life and they were loved dearly by their foster carers. And a friends eight year old daughter asked to visit her foster carers just the other day. (The first contact she has requested in relation to her adoption.) For foster carers have you had any children many years later that went into adoptive families seek you at the time they begin their journey to finding out more of their genetic history and family? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this relationship. It rarely seems to get a mention in any of the books I've read. I'm so glad I'm not alone in thinking they are important people in my children's early life. They helped them form attachments and know love right from the beginning. Yet so little mentions of the transition period is EVER mentioned in books on adoption. My youngest child's foster mother put together a photo history of her first 6 months of life up until she came home with us. I treasure it, and I bet she will too. (more...)

I?ve had countless unpleasant experiences with NHS staff, some that are beyond belief, but I didn?t do anything about any of my experiences until my last GP gave out details of my medical history, the last straw. My employers wanted information on a health problem I suffer from that had me off work and that can be fatal so they need to be informed of what to do if I fall ill at work, they contacted my doctor but long story short I did not give my consent for my GP to give out any information. My GP not only gave out privet information about me but didn?t even look at my medical history to see what it was they were talking about, instead he mentioned an appointment I had with him for something else, and to sum up he told them that I had no health problem ? basically saying to my employers that I was lying about my time off and to ignore all the information I gave them, thus it could have easily cost me my job or my life. Anyway, I started a formal complaint with around August last year, it?s being dealt with by someone in the Carers Federation, but the issue still hasn?t gone any further forward. I?m told that the complaint cannot go any further until the GP?s office contact my old employers to confirm what they were asking for ? which for one the GP?s office should already have, and even if they don?t it still doesn?t change the fact [incorrect] information from my medical records was given out without my consent. So it?s been over a year and still nothing at all has been done about my complaint, it?s getting annoying as it feels like they are stalling and I keep getting told this is a step that has to be taken, is it normal to take this long and can anyone suggest anyone I can talk to for advise?
