I think this is the sentiment of most people and why so many good parents don't become foster parents. It isn't easy and it can certainly be heartbreaking. The rewards however can outweigh the negatives.
I really don't know what to say to people who use that phase " I would become to attached" because I think they just don't know what to say and say that out of ignorance. I usually will explain that we feel this is what we are suppose to be doing. Most of the comments we get could be insulting, but I think they come from people who just don't understand what fostering is all about. They know all the myths and none of the facts and feel compelled to offer some type of comment.
