I don't know why this has such strong feelings associated with it since I grew up saying I'd never be a mom, but I DO want to be a dad.

Then again, the career I want to go into isn't really one that will make me financially stable.

Those are some really good questions. I don't know the answers but I do know there is a serious need for foster parents in every state. I lived in a foster home for two years when I was younger. It wasn't a healthy environment. My foster mother was not a nice lady. I ended up running away.
