Lucy works part time in carer recruitment for the fostering agency, Eastern Fostering Services. She also works directly with the some of the children fostered through the agency. The rest of her time she spends looking after her 2 boys and working for the ghost writing business she runs with her husband. This blog charts the family’s journey into fostering.
