Children who come into the care of Happy House remain in our with us for as long as they need to.
Because we actively stay in touch with any relatives our children may have and encourage contact and, when possible, home visits the kids form strong family bonds.
So when a parent or family member recovers from whatever problems led to their youngsters going into care and they are able to give them a home again, we make it possible, with continuing support, for them to do so.
We continue to monitor the situation and should it become necessary for a child to return into our care they do so - again for a as long as need be and they are happy knowing that "Once at Happy House kid, always a Happy house kid."
For others, as Mama Sue explains in today's video, Happy House will be the only home and family they know.
Without you, our child sponsors, this would not be possible.
You add so much to the life of our children, not just by providing financial support, but also by sharing you lives with your child.
Children look on their sponsors as extended family and it's lovely for them to know that someone, beyond the Happy House, loves them too.
