'I had zero experience of looking after a child, let alone raising one'

Luckily for me, Raffio’s foster carer – who I’d spent time with before he came to live with me – was very hands on and instrumental in getting me up to speed with his routines, likes and dislikes. When he moved we made sure he came with all his favourite toys, blankets and teddies.Over the years it has been quite the rollercoaster, but our relationship has flourished beautifully.

What I love most about him is his ability to empathise with others. Raffio has a very caring side and on days when I am run down or feeling under the weather he wants to take care of me. I often look back at his baby pics and they instantly transport me to a time and a place which seems so long ago now.
