I've read some about attachment and gone through training but something tells me that it will never be enough. Especially when the kids are affectionate and "loving" but really it's not true feelings. Or only partial feelings. Or manipulation.

On the one hand I ask myself why I would invite this into my and my family's lives, and on the other hand I think of all those kids out there without a real family. Especially once they hit 18 and are out of the system. I just can't imagine having no family to turn to in times of either trouble or joy; having no one to share a past and future with; being away at school and having no where to go for Christmas holidays.
