Three years after living with Laura, a parent and child foster carer, mum Andi and her toddler Isla are now thriving.
Andi came into a parent and child placement after a domestically abusive relationship led to her two oldest children being removed from her care. Today, she believes that without the support of Laura and her husband Tom, Isla would not be in her care.
When she left her partner, she discovered that she was pregnant. Social Services were concerned she would return to the abusive relationship and were looking into her case and after learning about parent and child fostering, Andi asked Social Services for the chance to prove that she could look after her child safely.
