No you are not crazy.. we foster older kids (have had 2 girls 14, 15 when they came to us.. 15 and 16 when they left and now have a 12 y/o boy.. we were going to adopt the 2nd girl that came to us and lots thought we were nuts.. but we love her and she fit so well into our family.. unfortunaltely things did not work out (due to some issue she had when we adopted our son).. but she is still in our lives and we love her very much..
Just be prepared for lots of adjustment time and watch carefully to see what is reallly "just being a teen" and what might be attachement issues or them being scared..
Good luck and know that you are wonderful for doing this,,
Mandy
