A foster family for three siblings

We are seeking a foster placement for a sibling group in the Galway area. All three siblings are keen to stay together as a family unit, if possible in Galway to stay connected to their schools and friends.

Laura* is a kind and energetic eleven-year-old girl who enjoys soccer, gymnastics and dancing. She is bright and witty and is currently doing well in 6th class in school. She can be talkative and confident once she feels comfortable. Family is very important to Laura, and she would thrive in a supportive foster home where she feels secure and encouraged and where she can support her family connections.

Conor* is a caring and sensitive ten-year-old boy who loves playing soccer, spending time outdoors and also enjoys gaming. Like his sister Conor is humorous and loves to make people laugh. He sometimes struggles with his emotions, in particular anger. With the right support, Conor responds very well to one-on-one attention and encouragement. Family is extremely important to him, and he values close, supportive relationships. He would benefit from a nurturing foster family who can provide patience, stability and reassurance while encouraging his interests.

Poppy* is a lively, fun-loving and energetic seven-year-old girl. She thrives on company and play, especially when interacting with other children. Poppy is very engaging and full of character, she often likes to think of herself as more grown up than she is. She is naturally inquisitive, loves exploring, learning and discovering new things and enjoys taking the lead in activities. She would benefit from a foster family who can nurture her curiosity, provide gentle but firm boundaries and support her playful, adventurous spirit.
