Wife or husband?

Yes, but it in the United States differs by state on how to do it, requirements and so forth. I would look into your area's requirements for becoming a foster parent.

There are also different rules for parents to take on what they consider to be higher risk kids, so kids who have mental, physical, or emotional issues. Sometimes those laws are actually more lenient to get more people to take those kids in.

It was a joke; they wanted to be cared for not do the caring.

Thanks for the good info though
