Anyone quit their fulltime successful job to become a stay at home fostermom?

I am heavily considering leaving the workforce to care for foster/adoptive kids. I am VERY nervous doing this as it's a big change. One concern is that I'd lose my sanity from being at home all day caring for kids. Another concern is finances, but I'll make sure that works out ok before doing it. Lastly I am concerned that my self esteem would be lowered because I'd most likely not be dressing up each day, socializing with intelligent people, etc. I hope nobody takes that in the wrong way.. but it's a whole different world being a stay at home mommy vs. being employed in a great organization with tons of benefits, etc.

Anyone make the change and regret it? Or vice versa?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!
