What people have to say about our services

Your input has really inspired our team and pulled everyone together.

Head Teacher

It’s a privilege to provide a loving home to a child. Somewhere they feel safe, secure and wanted. You don’t need to be a blood relation to be a family.

Gaynor

Foster Carers

My hairdresser had adopted two boys through Caritas Care and from day one the agency was brilliant, the support they gave us was immense. We took it a step at a time – the interview, then a three day training course.

Dawn, Adopter

I would like to say a big THANK YOU for all the support and care you gave to my daughter and myself.

Not at one point throughout the whole process did we ever feel judged or criticised for being in a same sex relationship, which made myself and my partner feel at ease. So, don’t worry about that, it’s not even an issue, everyone was very supportive and understood how much we wanted a family of our own.

Franky & Alyx, Adopters

You made the process seem so enjoyable and easy. Thank you for making our family complete.

Adopter

Thank you for the truly wonderful work that you do. I was certain a few years ago that we would have struggled to stay together as a family and without doubt the school placement would have collapsed were it not for the work you did, the expertise you shared, along with the care, kindness, and commitment that you personally gave to us. You have developed a team of very special people to provide a very special service.

Adopter

Social workers know their families well. Good-quality matching and support result in stable and secure adoption placements.

Ofsted, 2017

Make no mistake this is hard, emotional stuff and at times you do question what you’re doing and why all this personal insight is needed. Our social worker was just brilliant with us and during this time she became one of the family.

Paula, Adopter

Thanks so much for your help. You answered so many of our questions and more.

Adopter

My daughter certainly had some wonderful carers who were dedicated and devoted to her needs.

They got back to us really promptly; they were friendly and explained the process really clearly at each stage.

Adopter

It might be ten years this year but it feels so much longer, like it’s always been a part of our family. Fostering was always going to happen for us, it was just a case of when.

Leanne & Paul

Foster Carers

After their visit to us, we knew we weren’t going to go with anyone else. Caritas Care have been a brilliant support to us from day one. I can ring up anytime and because it’s not a huge faceless agency, I know all the social workers and all the support staff.

Jane & Martin

Foster Carers

I feel my daughter had an important role in life for people to better their careers and go on to become nurses and paramedics, not forgetting an Assistant Team Leader, which certainly makes me proud.

Caritas Care made everything crystal clear to us from the beginning, from the moment we had our first visit from a social worker to the present day.

Philp & Martin, Adopters

Since our daughter has been attending Vision she has become more independent, made new friends and interacts with other young adults. Her confidence has improved so much.

When our daughter was given a place at FX the opportunities, experiences of life and fun started. She absolutely loved her days, the activities, going out with all of her friends and having little naps on her bed.

I chose Caritas Care because it had a smaller, family feel to it and I could tell that support would be there for me and the children.

Emma

Foster Carers

I am so grateful to adoption, it allowed us to realise our dreams and created our perfect little family. As I sit here watching my daughter playing in the garden I feel so much pride and I know, forever our baby she shall be.

Lauren, Adopter

Since Becky* has been attending Vision she has become more independent, made new friends and interacts with other young adults. Her confidence has improved so much!

The agency provides a life-long service to its adoptive families. A wide range of support services are on offer, ranging from informal fun activities for families to individual therapeutic support.

Ofsted, 2017

From the moment we first contacted them, they were wonderful. The support they gave us was immeasurable. Every member of staff we have met has been warm, welcoming, honest and friendly.

Ruth, Adopter

I am the least worried than I have been for 10 years. I feel anything can get nipped in the bud when I’ve spoken to you. I’m 110% Top Banana Happy!

To any potential LGBT adopters, sometimes you may go into this thinking: ‘Oh we’re going to get a real grilling or going to have to through some extra processes because we’re a same-sex couple’ compared to a heterosexual couple but that’s just not the case.

Philip & Martin, Adopters

I don’t mind admitting I was nervous. Suppose I didn’t take to her. But I needn’t have worried. Little Pink was fast asleep in her buggy. She was beautiful and I couldn’t take my eyes off her, wanted to touch her hair, stroke her cheek. She was my granddaughter!

Adopted Grandma

Fab, Really pleased how he has settled in his new home. The new lad who has moved in is nice and they both get on. As long as he is happy, we are happy!

I would like to say that while I was away, the support for my daughter was all in place; every shift was covered by two-members of her regular staff and everything went smoothly. All the staff have an affectation for her with high respect for her health and enjoyment for life.

We both feel like we gained a friend in our social worker, as she’s been there with us throughout the process and probably knows more about us than a lot of our friends. For us, our social worker was like our cheerleader, rooting for us from day one.

Danny & James, Adopters

People say it’s (fostering) so rewarding and you get so much back from fostering and it’s true, you do. It’s nice to be in a position to offer a child some stability, security and hopefully happiness.

Jane & Martin

Foster Carers

When our daughter was given a place at FX the opportunities, experiences of life and fun started. She absolutely loved her days, the activities, going out with all of her friends and having little naps on her bed.

We’ve already made so many precious memories with our grandchildren and we’re looking forward to making many many more in the future!

Adopted Granny & Grandad

Having support in the home was so important to myself and my daughter. I needed carers that listened to me and learnt, had compassion and gave me the confidence so I could step back and know that my daughter was being cared for and having a really good life.

We saw a few changes in management but I have nothing but respect and praise for the support that my daughter received. I knew I did rant a few times but that was frustration and I hope I was forgiven even sometimes stepping over the line.
