They did not charge for the Love they gave so freely. Perhaps, now we are seeing how Patriarchal society rewarded male oriented professions but not female ones. Surely, if foster carers get £400 pounds per week, then why do natural parents not get the same if they are full time carers. After all it is the very same child and best interests of all children would tell me that something is not right, because we have so many poor families in our so called caring society.
