I remember feeling the exact same way at the end of those classes and we had second thoughts about fostering. But my dh and I agreed that the trainers' job is to be brutally honest about worst case scenario, they do not want anyone getting into foster care with a pie-in-the-sky idea of how it all is.
In truth, there are extremely troubled kids out there, but mostly you'll probably get children who act pretty normal plus some emotional baggage from what they came out of.
GL in your foster/adopt journey! It's going to be a roller-coaster ride of emotions probably, but it's extremely rewarding at the same time.
