It is unfair to comment that a person who would love to adopt a child from CPS is more selfish than those who would just like to foster the child, in turn "helping" the child. As though fostering is the only true "help".
Like the above person said, all kids need stable loving homes and for me, adopting from CPS, even though my main goal is to adopt and not foster, is to benefit not ONLY me and my husband in growing our family, but the child involved. Why not open your homes forever to a child that needs one?
Don't we all sort of need one another? Foster, adoptive parents and children and bio families. In one form or another?

If you get licensed to build your family, nothing wrong with that, absolutely nothing. But do acknowledge you have an agenda, you are looking to meet your needs as well as a child whose family is in crisis.
If someone is doing straight foster, they do not have the personal agenda of wanting to build their family.
It's not a judgement about who is a better person, it is just a statement of fact.
