We came home from holiday, happy and refreshed. Everything was starting to look good, Money coming back in and, life was looking good.The van was running fine and would meet our needs for a few more years. Meanwhile, miles away events were unfolding that would change our lives forever.
Back home, and within a week our world was upside down. New Grandson was taken mysteriously unwell in the middle of the night, his father, rushed him into hospital.
Next day a full child protection investigation. And two babies were taken into care.
Wales has a a very forward thinking new act that requires that children are only taken into care when all family options have been eliminated and it was ignored.
And it was game on for the former foster carers, except this time the children were our own grandchildren, I would like to think no less energy was deployed than we had as foster carers, only the stakes were higher.
