We chose to foster age 0-10. We have children already and because we are young, would not feel old enough to be parents of teens.
Also, we did not want our children to be exposed to concepts (sex, drugs, foul language) that are common among troubled teens.

I think more people want younger kids, because they may have less problems and will be able to attach easier.

We chose foster adopt over straight adoption, because finacially straight adoption was not an option for us. We also wanted to help children during a difficult time, while we waited for a child who was available for adoption.
