Our only age limit for a foster carer is that you should be over the age of 21.</li>\n\t<li>\n<strong>Do I need to own my own home?</strong> No. Whether you own your home, rent from a private landlord or from your local authority doesn’t matter. All that we ask is that you have a spare bedroom so that the foster child has a space to make their own.</li>\n\t<li>\n<strong>Do I need to have my own children?</strong> No. Fostering is a popular choice for parents whose children have left home and they are looking for a way to help out while filling empty rooms in their home. However, you don’t have to have your own children and we will consider any experience you have caring for children or family/friends and any experience you have working with children, either in a professional or voluntary capacity.</li>\n\t<li>\n<strong>Can a single person or someone in a same relationship foster?</strong> Yes. You can be single, married, living together as a couple. We welcome applications from individuals of all genders, sexualities and sexual orientations.</li>\n\t<li>\n<strong>Can I foster if I follow a religion?</strong> Yes.
