46. It is my life's mission to give those kids a good family life...

Once we buy a house, we're going to become Foster Parents. I watched a lot of kids come through the detention center where I used to work, and their parents were terrible to them. Many of them were headed to foster care after they left. I watched potential foster parents come in for a 15 minute visit to decide if they wanted the kids. It was ridiculous and sad. Those kids needed parents to love them, not people who were going to the pound to get a pet, which was more accurate. It should be harder to have a kid than to drive a freaking car.
