Part of the Family
An inspiring story of one family’s journey through the British care system, from the point of view of a foster carer. It tells of the funny, challenging, and often harrowing times of living life in an ever-changing household of temporary children.
Steering a course through the muddy waters of the care system has provided many obstacles but has overall proved to be a rewarding and heart-warming experience for the author.
Children who find themselves removed from their birth families are thrust into a system which, although trying its best, is so often lacking in the love and good quality nurturing they deserve.
As a society, we need to look at the way we deal with vulnerable children.

Jan and her husband are such good people. Their story is inspiring. They are unstoppable in
their caring for foster children who are forgotten by all the people and systems which should be protecting them. Thank goodness this writer has a sense of humor to keep her going through some very difficult times as a carer.
