New to OOT. Have custody of my nephews. LONG

You are in a really tough spot. just to let you know, as a foster parent, i can assure you that being placed in foster care isn't the worst thing in the world. it is much better for kids to be with family, but, foster parents can provide a great home for kids.

we have to do a lot of training, behavioral stuff, so we are ready for the issues of children that are placed with us. we offer them a loving home, and constant support until their parents get their act together, or the state revokes custody.

i can't speak for any other foster parents, but my wife and i do this to help kids, and help their families.

good luck
