Children in Care – Aoife
Read Aoife’s experiences, in the words of her foster carers…
"On her arrival, Aoife spoke only when spoken to and kept her head down. Very early on I realised taking another foster child would not be beneficial to Aoife – she needs one to one and I am very happy to do that.
"We enjoy all aspects of FFI including the social events, activities and days out where Aoife loves to meet the other children. We have great fun on holidays abroad, which I select to cater to Aoife's needs of safety and independence.
"Aoife is a lovely, lively, funny, social young woman holding her head up and becoming socially independent. However, she needs clear and constant guidelines regarding every aspect of her life due to her vulnerability. Aoife displays attention seeking behaviour, continually speaks without thinking which can have consequences which she needs to be aware of. Aoife continually needs prompts and reminders regarding her personal care. Aoife requires alot of attention and I am privileged to give it.
"The match of Aoife and I is amazing, miraculous actually, we go together like a hand and glove. We are well supported by FFI and I believe what I am doing is a great privilege."
