Russ Summers and Sue Stone have been fostering for a year. Russ quit his job as a lorry driver to become a full-time foster carer:
‘Of course it’s difficult when a child leaves, but you always have to keep their needs central. When children have gone from our house we’ve had a party, inviting everyone who has come into contact with them, and we try and encourage them to leave our house with a smile, even though we might burst into tears the minute the car goes around the corner! If you’ve sent them off equipped for a better life – then that’s a job well done. ‘
