David and I have been fostering since 2016, and we became disenchanted with the support we were being given by the company we had been working for.

​

We wanted to be part of a smaller ‘non-profit’ making agency. In fact, we desperately wanted to find an agency where all the members of staff got to know us personally. We felt that no suitable match with children and young people could be made without that.

​

We also wanted an agency that put the children first and went out of their way to help each individual young person gain their best possible outcome. We were recommended to approach Kasper Fostering.

​

From our very first meeting with them in January 2021, we have never doubted that they could fulfil our wish list. We soon became enthusiastic to start the transition into the Kasper family. I don't say ‘family’ lightly, I really mean that, we feel part of a family and even a young person who has been with us for several years and is now 18 and going to university, also said they feel Kasper has been a family for them as well.

We are currently caring for a 2-year-old girl who is going to meet her adoptive parents soon which will be a magical moment, and we plan to have parent and child placements after this which is something we have a lot of experience in.

​

The support we had during the transition was very friendly and professional as we completed all the necessary paperwork to make the change. We were kept up to date with all progress made and what the next stages were. It really was the best move for us, in fact, if we hadn't found Kasper, I doubt we would be fostering now.
