Foster couple 'heartbroken' as every child leaves but 'wouldn't change a moment'

A foster couple who have welcomed children into their home for the past 15 years said "it's the most rewarding job in the world".

Clare and Mike Pace have taken children aged from just a few months up to 13 years into their loving home for varying periods of time. The couple have had such a positive effect on the children's lives they've fostered they've stayed in contact with them all with Mike even being asked to be a godfather to one.

Clare said the couple first became foster carers in 2006 after her mum-in-law went into residential care. She had been looking after her mum-in-law after she was diagnosed with dementia but felt "there was a missing piece" in her life when she went into care.
