I knew my calling

I arrived at parenthood at a fairly young age and I've always strived to be the best person I can in order to create a path for my daughter to thrive.

When I met my husband seven years ago, I was a florist, however I always knew my calling was to work within the children's services sector. Unfortunately, due to endometriosis I had to have a full hysterectomy at the age of 27. Forever blessed with my own birth daughter and two stepchildren we felt we had the space, time and more love to share with children that needed us. We picked up the phone and called our local authority and that's how we became foster carers within Oxfordshire.
