Daniel, became part of their family at the tender age of seven. Joe and his wife Stacey have been deeply moved by his story and the thought about what could’ve been for Daniel, if Kiffy hadn’t welcomed him into their lives.

Joe told the Express: “It would definitely be of interest to both Stacey and I [to become foster parents], as we have seen the difference my mum has made to little Daniel’s life and the young man he is growing up to be.”
