Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, rejection is all that 7-year-old Alex knows.When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged 7, her immediate reaction is: Why can''t he stay with his present carers for the last month? He''s already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler and he''ll only be with her a short while before he goes to live with his permanent adoptive family. But the present carers are expecting a baby and the foster mother isn''t coping, so Alex goes to live with Cathy.He settles easily and is very much looking forward to having a forever family of his own.
