What effect will this have on MY own kids? In their own words!

"I used to be concerned about the effect bringing a foster child into our family would have on our kids. Would it take away from the attention they deserve from us? Would it interrupt their routines? Would they resent us for it? Now, after the fact, I'm more concerned about the effect NOT bringing a foster child into our home would have had on our kids. It has changed them, for the better, and I'm convinced they will never be the same as a result of it" From the Jason Johnson Blog.

Why People Should Foster Parent
One good reason to foster parent is think about how they feel.  The police come to their house and take them...then now would you rather them go to a safe home like yours or to a group home.
Next, I think its kinda fun when DSS calls to say, "Will you take a 4 year old boy?" I have all these questions running through my head...I wonder what he will look like? How long will he stay with us?  
Another thing...What are you afraid of? Their sweet, and cute, just like your kids. It is highly unlikely for them to be bad.  We've had over 13 cases and one child out of 13 has been bad.They don't mess up your house, like I said they're practically like your kid.
Oh, and one last thing....when you start doubting yourself, just say...I'm going to get rewarded for this in heaven. Jesus Christ is looking over me.  I can do this.  
P.S. Please foster parent. Jeb
