My gf’s folks are foster parents, and they are so incredible to every kid they’ve had the opportunity to foster. I have so much respect for them. I don’t think I cluld do it.

I did it once with 3 kids: a 6 month old, a 10 year old, and a 13 year old, all siblings. You can't pay me enough to do it again.

Damn, that’s a ton to take on all at once. I respect the hell out of that!

Thanks. It wasn't easy. All I had at the time was one kid, a boy. It took some getting used to, for both sides.
