My husband and I have been going thru the foster care program for 3 1/2 yrs and the first couple of kids that we got into care stayed from 3days to 4 1/2 mths and no matter how long they are in care it is still hard and you fall in love with them as if they are your own. We did have one child that we had for 1yr and 2mths and he got reunified and that was very difficult because the sw kept advising that they were going to try and terminate then a family member came into play. But look at it on the bright side of things that you are helping these kids out, even though it might seem like you are just doing a glorified babysitting job. After 9 kids, the 10th child we got is the one that we got to adopt
