Co Armagh couple Pauline Rayner and her husband Barry have been HSC NI approved foster carers since 2013.

They live near Loughgall village and, after their three sons left home, they set about filling their lives (and empty rooms) once again with a new generation of young people that would benefit from the experience they gained rearing their own children.

Unsure of which age range of children suited their lifestyle best, the couple initially asked to care for up to two children between the ages of 0-18 years. They believed would enable them to have a variety of fostering experiences, leading to them identifying their preferred age group through time.
