And Mother makes seven

Article Abstract:

Bringing up quins can be very expensive, according to Lesley Needham, whose quins are now nine years old. She is fully occupied with looking after the family every day, and often finds life very tiring. Her relationship with her husband has been through difficult times, especially as she feels that he does not help much with the housework. However, they are united by their pride in their children.

'This house is full of war wounds.' (experiences of foster families; case studies)

Article Abstract:

Foster parents must find the physical and emotional strength to deal with children who are often very disturbed and behave in strange ways. However, it can be very rewarding when the children begin to respond, becoming happier and more relaxed. It is particularly rewarding to see a child return to his or her own home and to know that the situation there will have greatly improved.
