I Want to Foster, But My Husband Doesn't - Weekend Wisdom

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!

Question: I want to foster children, but my husband is against it. Our kids are 5 and 3 years old, and I really want to keep on having kids through fostering. I think I’m a good mom, and I think I’d do great at fostering. My husband thinks we have our hands full with 2 kids. He thinks adding other kids with possible behavioral problems will sink us.
