So what’s the deal with Bill’s foster mother? Was she a family friend who took her in or something? They don’t seem to have a particularly close relationship, Bill’s not even out to her it seems? Also, fostering is usually a temporary arrangement before either the fosterer or someone else adopts the child (to the best of my knowledge) so why didn’t Bill get adopted?
I have so many questions.

Not sure how it works in the UK, but a lot of foster kids in the US aren’t foster kids because they are up for adoption, but rather because their parents are unable to care for them. In that case, the kids were removed from the parents’ care and placed in the care of the state. Usually, they try to find family first, but that’s not always possible. Not an expert, but I’ve seen it happen.

She seems too old to still be in foster care, also? (Sadly some kids never get adopted, so it is possible.)
