I think a special blessing is in store for folks like you who have room enough in their lives for those who have gotten a poor start to their lives.

With one exception, the rough start these kids had was due to there parents. And I am sad to say that I can only count one of these kids as a "success".

One ended up pregnant at 17 by a "cousin", two ended up in jail. Three others aged out of the system and spent time in transition homes.

On the other hand all of the dogs were rescues. There was only one of those that we could not get back into being a social animal. He had to be put down after he tried to take a piece of my wife's hand.

"...the rough start these kids had was due to there parents."

That one misspelling could make accidental, rational sense.

Though many children who need or could benefit from foster care have not enough there, there, as in absence of parents, more literally than figuratively...

So far, verga. So far...

Remember the vineyard parable.
