Thank you for your interest in foster care.
So you want to find out more about what's involved in becoming a foster carer? This site will give you the information you need before taking the next step towards foster caring in the City of Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders.
The best people to tell you about becoming a foster carer are the foster carers themselves. Why foster? gives more details on foster care and the Foster Care Fortnight campaign. What next? gives details of what happens after you first contact us. Every page has videos of real carers talking about becoming a foster carer and sharing some of their experiences.
Scotland needs around 1700 more foster carers right now - we hope that you will make a difference and consider becoming one of them.
