Sisters in care in just want mummy and daddy of their own

Leicester Mercury

Sisters Francesca and Naomi have been in care for as long as they can remember.

They have seen other foster children come and go to permanent homes and often ask when it will be their turn to get a new family.

   Francesca and Naomi are hoping to find a loving home

The two girls are desperate for a mummy and daddy to call their own. Today, the Leicester Mercury is making an appeal to find them.

Francesca, four, said: "I will feel really happy when it is my turn to go to my new mummy and daddy."

Naomi, three, said: "I would like my new mummy and daddy to be nice and I would like my house to have a garden with swings."

The pair came to foster carers Elaine and Mick Hope two years ago. The couple, who have fostered almost 200 children during the past 32 years, adore the sisters, but are considered too old to be a permanent family for them.

Elaine, 55, said: "To have their very own mummy and daddy would mean everything to them.

"The only thing in life that they have left is each other."

Francesca and Naomi – not their real names – are not the only pair or group of siblings in need of a home.

The Changing Children's Lives campaign, which aims to inspire people to become foster or adoptive parents, is hoping all can be found homes.

Francesca said: "I think that I would like my new mummy to have long hair and I think my new daddy might have a beard.

"I don't know what their names will be yet but I would like to go there and play outside with my new mum soon.

"I would like her to be a funny and happy mummy. I would like a new bedroom, a Barbie one, and I would like there to be a notepad and pens at my new house so I can draw pictures."

Naomi said: "I like animals and I would like a parrot called Polly at my new house maybe.

"I would like a Peppa Pig bedroom, like my friend."

Elaine and Mick, 65, who have four children and an adopted son, said they had watched the girls blossom under their care.

Mick said: "They were quite a challenge when they first came but they are different now."

Elaine said: "It was all about routine.

"Once they felt settled and safe their behaviour improved dramatically.

"We have always been honest with them so they know they won't stay here forever.

"They have seen children come and go and often ask me when it will be their turn."

Rosi Paling, from the city adoption team, said: "These are beautiful, warm and exceptionally bright young girls.

"Sadly, there are very few adopters looking for children aged four and upwards, particularly sibling groups.

"We would urge anyone interested in adoption, particularly of older sibling groups, to contact us."

MY THOUGHTS

Government adoption targets again, two beautiful little children, that may of been taken away from their natural parents via the flawed evidence given within the family court arena, PROFESSIONALS THAT LIE TO LINE THEIR POCKETS,EAT YOUR HEART OUT HIBBERT AND SOUTHALL.

“Government adoption targets again, two beautiful little children, that may of been taken away from their natural parents via the flawed evidence given via the expert witnesses within the family court arena ? PROFESSIONALS THAT LIE TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS.
How can a Paediatrician diagnose a Mother with MSBP, without ever seeing her or the children involved? for one thing he is not adequately qualified to make such an assumption.
But the former is something that happens within a veil of secrecy up and down the UK,on a daily basis, RESULTING IN GROSS MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE, FORCED ADOPTION.”
