'I bounced around 13 foster families until a couple changed my life when I fell pregnant at 15'

A teen who stayed with 13 foster families in her formative years, credits a couple with 'changing her life' when she fell pregnant at 15. She is grateful for their unconditional support and is now so close to her new family, her baby now considers them 'grandad' and 'nana'.

Blossom Farey, now 21, was terrified when she found out she was expecting a baby in December 2016. She was unsure if she would raise her daughter or put her up for adoption, but decided to carry on with the pregnancy.

Blossom had been bounced around between foster families for four years and was worried about bringing up her new arrival in that environment. When her little girl, Arianah Farey, now five, was born in June 2017, Blossom knew she "had to keep her" and social services stepped in to help the mum and baby find a new foster family.
