We are still waiting to be licensed, but hoping that happens soon! My parents aren't sure really 'why' my husband and I want to foster/adopt from the system. We can have biological children, but have not yet. They seem to think infertility would be the ONLY reason we would choose this. At the beginning my mom asked me if we were doing it for the money. After me really letting her have it, she apologized and said she didn't really think we would. My dad informed us on how we were "taking away" from our future biological children. How? By loving their siblings that come in our home a different way? Who knows...I think once we actually have kids in our care, they will come around. If not, it is their choice to not be involved. I won't let their comments and actions hurt my kids.
