The potential perils of caring for a teenager are therefore well known, but there is also a heap of potential rewards that sometimes get marginalised because they are positive rather than negative.

In our experience at Fostering to Inspire we have seen many rewarding foster placements of teenagers and have been amazed at the commitment and joy such young people can bring to their fostering families. Here are some of the reasons why:
