Foster children will not be grateful for your giving them a "normal" life. In fact, just the opposite, they will resent you because their birthparents couldn't do it.
I would not bring a teenage boy into my home with other children (especially a girl). This kid is in the system because he has seen, heard and done things that other kids his age have not experienced. Statistics on sexual abuse of children in foster care says that up to 90% have experienced it (don't quote me, thats what I've heard). So remember, he is probably "experienced" in a way your daughter is not. While you may think of them as siblings, your daughter and foster son will not.
Be careful.
