Riptide you are very sweet for thinking I am special. I am just a selfish woman wanting to nurture as many kids as I can. I am glad you had good foster parents. It makes all of the difference. I also fostered because I had a friend when I was 17 who gave me love and changed my life. She died a few years ago now. I miss her.

Actually, you aren't selfish. I don't know the circumstances of your foster daughter, but in my 11 years in the foster system, I did not meet one kid that was "easy." This is why they get moved from home to home..because the foster parent's give up. It takes alot to hang in there. I had 7 "placements" before my final foster parents and unfortunately, I was not easy, and it took alot for them to keep me.

Anyone that takes a child into their home and tries and those that even do better by helping them grow is AWESOME.
