The Palace Receives Some Exciting News
At 46 years of age, Princess Mary has a baby announcement! Her long-time bestie Amber Petty decided to become a foster parent at the age of 47.
“At 47 years old I’m at an age where I’m conscious time is ticking loudly. It’s time to get on with stuff,” Amber writes in The Daily Telegraph.
Explaining that she contacted the MacKillop Family Services foster agency in Melbourne a few years ago, Amber kept her plan a secret from her friends and family.
“I didn’t want to lose an ounce of energy on my mission by fielding warnings from my nearest and dearest. I’d also never been a parent. Let alone a parent of a traumatised child,” she added explaining she was concerned she was “going to end up screwing the whole thing up” and be left with a child consoling her.
Despite her fears, Amber was later approved as a foster carer. The responsibility weighed heavily on her shoulders, but she decided she would give it her best, explaining that her heart was in the right place and she would keep smiling and “wing it.” Amber wanted to create some nice memories for her new child.
