Sonworshipers ,
How did things turn out with your Foster children? I was going to post this but realized this was posted last Feb. Let me know how things worked out.:
Take care of yourself.
I am a Foster Parent and several of my fellow foster parents, at least 3 that I know of , have requested removal of children from their homes due to personal reasons such as : already have 4 bio children and can't handle having a 5th for more than a few weeks, physical hormonal changes & feeling as if she needs a break and wouldn't be the attentive parent the children need at this point, and one had a 3 yr old bio son adversely affected by the foster children in the home.
You are certainly taking on more than can be expected of anyone emotionally and physically. My foster friends didn't feel enormous guilt as they knew it was best for the children as well as themselves. That is how you need to look at the situation.
Your foster children need to be placed in a home that will be able to meet their needs without having an overwhelmed , distressed person trying to survive the day. And you deserve to dedicate your time and energy to your existing family: 2 adopted children, husband, mom, and most importantly to yourself.
If you don't recharge your batteries it is difficult to help others.
Have the children removed knowing it is best for them also. Be persistent and firm about the removal and don't have regrets.
I will pray for your family and for peace of mind in your decision.
God Bless
