This week I had the absolute privilege of speaking to Phil Watson - a biological dad, part time teacher, adoptive dad and foster carer.
Phil and his wife foster for Liverpool City Council and also recruit foster carers in the city. Phil shared his experiences in such emotive detail that had me wondering if I could foster - something I’ve never even thought about before.
I don’t have a spare room, unfortunately, or I’d be submitting my application this week after spending just one hour with Phil. Here, he shared his journey and explains what life as a foster carer is really like.
