My parents were foster parents (weekends only) of a mentally handicapped guy 7 years older than me.
He saw me grow up to the age of 16, when I migrated to NZ.
It helped my development because I didn’t have any other brothers and sisters so didn’t get too spoiled. And it helped me develop an understanding and care of people not so well of in our society, for reasons they can or cannot take responsibility for.
Every kid deserves good parents. I hope to be a good parent one day, so why not get one or two foster kids to keep the family going.
Of course not all foster kids are from broken families or have limited abilities, but these certainly come to my mind first.
Oh by the way, I voted strong right.
