Why foster in Derbyshire with Orange Grove?
“I can honestly say that fostering was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, but also the most rewarding. Fostering has to be a whole family approach. But I can honestly say that the lives of my own children, who are now grown up and making their own way in this world, have been so enriched by this whole experience.”
Brigitte, Foster Parent
