a few people have told me that I’d miss out on ‘real parenting’ if I do not have a kid of my own. you don’t seem to have that problem at all! good on you for stepping up for those kids. not everyone would.

I’m sorry your parents did that to your sister but im happy shes living her best life now :) honesty is key with kids!!

thank you for the insight! honestly, I think I lean more towards the fostering side than the infant side. I am definitely wary of the challenge, though, so I think thats what inspired me to ask here. Lots of stuff to keep in mind.
