It’s not all bad though, although relationships can be strained and petty arguments arise, being a foster family is also fun. Nothing beats the excitement of being able to show movies they’ve never watched (some of them have never seen Disney movies), buy them presents or teach them how to do things they’ve never been able to do. We’ve been canoeing, gone shopping with them, taught them how to ride horses, been sightseeing. Most of them will, after some time, eventually become an extension of our family and we treat them like part of it.
