Fostering & Adoption with Tony, Aine and Helen

Barnardo's Fostering & Adoption NI

ICYMI - revisit our online event where we chat with Helen Browne, head of the Barnardo's Fostering & Adoption service, and discuss working while fostering.
We also meet Tony and Aine who fostered a baby shortly after approval and, four years later, are in the process of adopting him. Tony & Aine continue to foster and reflect on being led by the individual needs of their child.
