Caring for our children - Foster Care in Edinburgh

Billy.

My name is Billy. I'm 13 years old.

I really want to be part of a loving family and have someone to take me to play football.

Can you foster me?


Foster me, foster us

The City of Edinburgh Council is urgently looking for more foster carers.

We need people to care for children for a few days or months and some will need caring for all of their childhood. Some will be adopted and become part of their new family for life. A carer can have a huge impact on a child's life, improving their confidence and helping them towards a happy future.

Interested in becoming a carer?

Find out more about becoming a carer. Drop in for a chat at Portobello Library on Friday 3 February 1-4pm.
