Yes, I couldn't help feeling that if the programme-makers and Lesley weren't trying to show Barnardo's in such a positive light, they could easily have followed the line of how awful it was to send young children away so far away from everyone and everything that they knew.
I saw something in the records that Lesley was shown about the foster mother (presumably Jane Patient) being ill with a kidney stone? Maybe she and Charles were unable to look after the boys any more for health / age reasons?
