Advice badly needed, please! A friend of mine, who had two adopted children, died almost five years' ago. Her husband has just passed away, leaving the children, a girl age 14 & a 17 year old boy. The boy has gone to stay with his very elderly gran, but none of the (very small) family will take the girl. She is staying with friends while Social Services try to place her with a foster family. I have been helping out, and I'm considering taking her in, at least for the short term. Am I doing the right thing? Our children are grown up, and we have young grandchildren, and I have a busy, full life with lots of interests. I think there have been many issues and challenges, and I might be walking blindly into the lions den. But I feel so bad for her! What would you do? Any advice gratefully received!
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
