[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 702819, member: 16024"] I am sure there are bad foster homes, but the majority of people who open their homes to children in need are good and decent people. I have know many families who do foster-care services, and have provided letters in support of several people who were going through the process of being certified. They do a difficult job and the compensation is minimal. Many of my step-siblings spent time in foster care after they were thankfully taken away from their neglectful parents. My younger step-brother was in the same home from age one to age six, when my step-dad married my mom and made the effort to get some of his kids back. I remember how devestated the poor child was, when he was taken from the only mother he knew....I remember thinking that it was a travesty to keep children in limbo for years until a parent decides to get his/her life together. The bio-mom never bothered to even try to contact the kids or get them back. The horror stories about CPS are out there, but they are more often the exception, rather than the rule. [/QUOTE]
