Answer 1

Why not type in "foster carers" in the search engine and see what comes up.  I just did it and there are lots of sites - some say "networking".  Give it a try.

good luck

Answer 3

I would be very wary about discussing foster care issues with people online. there is the matter of confidentiality which you need to consider. if you need to talk to anyone about fostering issues why not speak to your social worker. I am a local authority foster carer and we have informal coffee mornings where we meet with other carers in a pre booked room. ask the manager of the fostering service if anything similar is available for you.
