Although my situation is not similar to yours, yours is a common scenario on why people begin fostering.
Foster parents become foster parents for all sorts of reasons. I don't think any are better than any other as long as you do a good job and really take care of the children.
One thing I would caution you about is to realize that in foster care the first goal is almost always reunification so you may fall in love with a baby or child and then that child is removed from your home to go back with their parents or family members. It's not uncommon for you to have a child for a couple of years and still lose the child.
Those are just some things to think about. It is true though, with foster care you will at least have children in your home.
