Can I foster if I have pets?
Yes! Many foster carers have pets, and we understand they're an important part of the family.

Pets can often provide comfort, companionship and routine for children. During the assessment process, we'll consider how your pets fit into your home environment, and how that would work with your fostering journey.

“Pets are brilliant ice breakers for children coming into a new foster home, especially for children who lack trust in adults. We have lots of happy memories of days out with the children we have fostered and our dogs.” Ian, foster carer

🐾 We'd love to meet your four-legged family members (or any other pets you may have!). Get in touch to enquire!

Alla i feithrin os oes gen i anifeiliaid anwes?
Ydw! Mae gan lawer o ofalwyr maeth anifeiliaid anwes, ac rydym yn deall eu bod yn rhan bwysig o'r teulu.

Yn aml, gall anifeiliaid anwes ddarparu cysur, cwmni a threfn arferol i blant. Yn ystod y broses asesu, byddwn yn ystyried sut mae eich anifeiliaid anwes yn ffitio i amgylchedd eich cartref, a sut y byddai hynny'n gweithio gyda'ch taith maethu.
“Mae anifeiliaid anwes yn dorwyr iâ gwych i blant sy’n dod i gartref maeth newydd, yn enwedig i blant sydd â diffyg ymddiriedaeth mewn oedolion. Mae gennym ni lawer o atgofion hapus o ddiwrnodau allan gyda’r plant rydyn ni wedi’u maethu a’n cŵn.” Ian, gofalwr maeth

🐾 Byddem wrth ein bodd yn cwrdd ag aelodau pedair coes eich teulu (neu unrhyw anifeiliaid anwes eraill sydd gennych!). Cysylltwch i ymholi!

Can I foster if I'm gay?
Yes! Foster carers come from all backgrounds and walks of life.
What matters is your ability to provide a loving, supportive and safe home where a child can thrive. We welcome enquiries from LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.

“We love caring for children. Some children have been through so much in their young lives, they deserve the best, and we do our best to give them lots of love.” Heather, foster carer

Alla i faethu os ydw i'n hoyw?
Ie! Daw gofalwyr maeth o bob cefndir a phob math o fywyd. Yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw eich gallu i ddarparu cartref cariadus, cefnogol a diogel lle gall plentyn ffynnu. Rydym yn croesawu ymholiadau gan unigolion a chyplau LGBTQ+.

“Rydym wrth ein bodd yn gofalu am blant. Mae rhai plant wedi mynd trwy gymaint yn eu bywydau ifanc, maen nhw'n haeddu'r gorau, ac rydym yn gwneud ein gorau i roi llawer o gariad iddyn nhw.” Heather, gofalwr maeth

❤️ Ydych chi'n adnabod rhywun a fyddai'n gwneud gofalwr maeth gwych? Rhannwch y post hwn gyda nhw.

Can I foster if I'm in my 20s or 30s?
Yes! As long as you're over 21, you can enquire about becoming a foster carer.
We do encourage you to gain a bit of life experience, but age alone doesn't determine your ability to provide the care, support and stability a child needs.

Alla i faethu os ydw i yn fy 20au neu 30au?
Ydw! Cyn belled â'ch bod chi dros 21 oed, gallwch chi ymholi ynglŷn â dod yn ofalwr maeth.

Rydym yn eich annog i ennill ychydig o brofiad bywyd, ond nid yw oedran yn unig yn pennu eich gallu i ddarparu'r gofal, y gefnogaeth a'r sefydlogrwydd sydd eu hangen ar blentyn.
