Ah, foster care. Bermuda House of Assembly Have we seen, Honourable Minister . . . and thank you for this information. It tends to be very emotive, quite frankly, for some of us when we look at this, having also myself had a foster child many, many moons ago. Have we seen a decline in folks wiling to take on …
