When he arrived in OZ he was only about 2 years old but had the mental and physical condition of a 12 month old. Has been in the family for 15 years now and while he has had his ups and downs etc it is good to know that they have made a difference to Olivers life, shown him true values, shown him love and given everything they possibly can.On your situation Flukey, I applaud you mate, the amount of love you will receive out of these kids as thanks will last a life time and don't be at all surprised if you stay in contact with most of them for the rest of your life.Congrats and hope it all goes well for you.And Bionic, hope it all works out for you and your grand-daughter.

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 21y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 25/09/08 12:06 PM Author Share Posted 25/09/08 12:06 PM UPDATE:Dee (Mrs Flukey) and I were approved as Foster Carers today. The process is quite long and really intrusive but we got there which is a great thing.We will have a 15 year old girl joining us within the next month or so who really just needs a good home to get settled in.I am sure we can provide it for her.Hopefully it works for us and her.Luke.

Theres not many people out there these days who will give a total stranger a new start on life, well done. I hope everything goes well, there should be more people on this earth with these loving values. Bionic what a sad story I too hope everything turns out for the best.
