Fostering
LGBTQ+ & Fostering
At Kibble Fostering, we pride ourselves in being an inclusive provider, and actively welcome LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Our ethos is simple, we actively look for foster carers who have the qualities, values, love and dedication to truly make a difference in a child’s life.
If you can provide a safe, stable, and loving home where a child or young person can feel valued and supported, then we want to hear from you. We welcome people from all walks of life and are here to guide and support you every step of the way on your fostering journey.
When you foster with Kibble, you become part of the New Family Social network, a community we’re proud to belong to. As a Kibble foster carer, you’ll receive complimentary gold membership, giving you access to dedicated online forums, in-person and virtual events, expert-led webinars, peer support, and inspiring podcasts.
New Family Social is dedicated to supporting and connecting LGBTQ+ adoptive and foster families, helping you build strong, happy, and lasting relationships with guidance, community, and understanding every step of the way. You can download their leaflet with more information at the bottom of this page.
Take a look at some of our feedback from LGBTQ+ Foster Carers.
“As a gay man, I felt anxious about becoming a foster carer. But the moment I called Kibble Fostering, I knew I had made the right decision. They made me feel truly welcome and supported me every step of the way. The guidance throughout the process, and the ongoing support since, has been second to none.”
