Yes! If you’re a single person who is considering becoming a foster parent, you should know that your relationship status shouldn’t hold you back. If you have some experience of caring for children, perhaps in looking after younger relatives or as part of a career, you will still be considered.

There are plenty of foster parents who don’t have biological children of their own.

Many single parents find they are unable to work traditional 9-5 jobs because of childcare commitments, but they make good candidates for foster care because they have experience of parenting and are able to fully commit to a fostering role for one or more children.

Whether you’re a single parent considering becoming involved in foster care or you’re simply a single person, you will receive financial support to help you afford to look after the extra children in your care. Financial support is available in the form of foster care payments and you may also be able to claim working tax credits depending on your situation.
