Amy, now 26, and from Bristol, entered foster care at the age of 14 after what she describes as a difficult family situation.
Looking back, she believes the support and stability she received changed the course of her life.
“I had come out of a really bad family relationship, and if I hadn’t been actually saved by my foster parents, I don’t know where I’d have ended up.
“If they didn’t stick it out, and if they didn’t give me the love that I needed then I absolutely would not be here today.”
Amy went on to attend university and build a career in the media, something she says would not have been possible without her foster family.
