and really, if you go to church, are you supposed to find and pay for alternate child care if the bio parents don't want them to go? One of the agencies we looked into said, most teenagers don't want to go to church anyway, but you do not, as a foster parent, have to let them stay home. Our church is really our other family. I do not know what we would do if we did not have them. There more than several other foster/adopt families in our church that are wonderful supports. I would think that the kids would only benefit b/c they could also find emotional/spiritual support there.
