They said: “It is very rewarding to be able to have a parent and child in your own home and support them to be the best they can.
“There is nothing better than seeing a parent develop and move on successfully with their child. They’re all very different in so many ways, but are also the same, as they are all parents wanting to do the best for their children.”
