Thought about it, but they get taken away from you. Then you never see them again. Raised stepchildren for good part of thier growing up. Then the mother that never wanted them decides she does. They were teenagers by then and she left them alone alot. So she screwed them up. Between that and my exhusband, they don't talk to me anymore. Painful story, no one wanted them but me. Not even thier father. Fostering would be too much like that. I know there are not guarentees that your children will still want to be around you when they are grown, but it is far more likely if they are your children from birth or shortly after. Adopted or born of you. Fostering is almost a guarentee that they will leave you. Thanks anyway... It's a bad day... it will pass. It always does. You're a peach to give it some thought for me. I truely appriciate that.
