Sibling Fostering

Keeping Brothers and Sisters Connected & Cared For

Siblings share an invaluable bond – a connection that runs deep and shapes their lives. At Acorn Fostering Services, we do everything in our power to preserve the sibling bond, keeping brothers and sisters together when they need emergency foster care or short-term placement during times of crisis.

Acorn Fostering Services is a private and independent fostering agency that provides sibling fostering placement services in Leicestershire and the surrounding counties. We work tirelessly to keep siblings connected and well cared for in safe, family-oriented environments that offer stability and a sense of hope and belonging.

A Steadfast Commitment to Keeping Siblings Together

Sibling fostering placements hold a special place in our hearts at Acorn Fostering. We recognize that the sibling relationship can be a vital source of love, support, and comfort for children in foster care, and we strive to keep brothers and sisters together whenever possible. Sibling foster placements provide them with the opportunity to thrive in a familiar and nurturing environment, and their bond can contribute to the emotional well-being and overall development of each child.

Acorn Fostering Services is dedicated to supporting siblings who require foster care. Our compassionate foster carers provide a safe and stable home environment where they can find solace and strength in each other’s presence. We understand the challenges siblings may face when they’re separated, and we do everything possible to ensure they remain close.

What to Expect as a Sibling Foster Carer

Caring for siblings requires a specialized approach and a foster carer that won’t feel overwhelmed by the circumstances. Our foster carers who provide support to siblings receive comprehensive training, access to ample resources, generous fostering allowances, and 24/7 support to help them meet the unique needs of sibling groups.

Local authorities will place siblings together in the same foster home when it’s appropriate, practical, and beneficial to their health and well-being. We work closely with families to develop individualized care plans that address the specific requirements of each child, taking into account their ages, personalities, and any additional support they may need. Our goal is to create a stable, loving environment and keep the kinship intact so siblings can experience the joys of childhood together.

Sibling Foster Carers – Pillars for a Brighter Future

Sibling fostering is a truly rewarding experience. As a foster carer of siblings, you’ll become the anchor that keeps them together and the integral element that provides them with a stable foundation for a happier present and a brighter future. The joy of seeing siblings grow, thrive, and overcome their circumstances is an immeasurable experience, and being their foster carer means facilitating that love and stability at every step through their journey in life.
