Giving a helping hand

“It wasn’t the easiest thing and I had to battle with it, but now, looking back, I believe I made the right decision and have no regrets. Sometimes we just have to do what is right and I understand that a lot of people may not want to do it and that is quite alright, but if you can, then go ahead, you never know the difference that could be made.”

I was having a recent conversation with a sister who for the last two years has been unofficially fostering a teenage child. From all indications the arrangement seems to be going fine as the child and those of this sister operate as blood siblings.

I asked how she got into such an arrangement and she admitted that it was not an easy decision to make.
