It has been the most amazing thing I have ever done. The up side is you get to be there at a time in the kids lives when they really need someone. You get this enormous wonderful family (we have had 6 foster kids and loved them all dearly). The cons - the wait in between placements is really hard for me, our extended family does not understand, i have nearly lost my job as i have taken time off with each kid (i have now resigned and am going to school at night), and my heart breaks each and every time i say goodbye (even when i am happy about where they are going), and it can be hard to relate to traditional parents.
Despite how hard it can be it has been worth it all. I wouldn't stop for anything.
