A jiffy bag lansoprazole (prevacid) 30 mg dr capsule Alex became a short-term foster carer in 1978. At that time the longest a child could stay in short-term foster care was six months (‘your opinion counted for nothing,’ she says). Her first foster children were brothers of four and six, who rode round and round the kitchen on a wooden trike shouting, ‘F*** off! F*** off!’ at the tops of their voices. ‘My children, who had never heard that kind of language, sat at the table with their eyes popping out of their heads.’ But when the time came for them to leave, she couldn’t bear to let them go. ‘I had been told they were going to lovely new parents, but in fact they were sent back to the children’s home, which was a ghastly place. I felt I’d let them down, and it took me a long time to get over it. Everyone makes the same mistake with their first foster child­ren. You get so emotionally involved you vow never to do it again, because your heart is broken.’
