I've fostered 2 kids, one 10 the other a teenage boy 14. I had him till last year. Still love him to bits. Having children made things a bit different and I found that love looked different. I grew up in 'care' (not) so fostering is always something that I would do. I also work in that area. In Australia things are very different although as globalisation takes over we are becoming as mean and punitive as the best of conservative politics allows. Not sure what that will mean for our kids. More will just die or be unhappy I suppose.
