[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you know you were right for it, OP? It sounds emotionally demanding. [/quote] We spoke with people who did it, we spoke with social and case workers, we read a ton of websites, blogs and books about fostering and guardian ad litems, we thought about it, we spoke with people who had more life experience than us, and then we took a leap of faith. It's entirely worth it when one of our foster kids comes home from school and we're able to say "Your mom got released from the hospital yesterday and is ready to take care of you again." It's entirely worth it when a foster kid is leaving and they turn around and whisper thank you to us. It doesn't happen every time, but it's great when it does, and it carries us through low points.
