Oh, yeah, my wife and I ofter talk about how life for theese girls would be if they were still in that environment.
I'm sure they all would have been pregnant numerous times by now, most likely by sick family members.
We have some friends who take care of kids who have been severely neglected or beaten, and most of them have brain injuries.

Those kids need constant care and you have to be a liscenced nurse to take care of them.
It is a constant job where you cannot leave the kid out of your sight.
The money is incredible , even more so than that of a hospital nurse.

They have had some kids with them that have actually brought me to tears upon seeing them.
Then hearing the stories about what happened to them makes you want to go hunt down the person that did it , and give them the same punishment, but I guess that would not solve anything.

When I get the chance to spend time with those people, it really makes my problems seem so small, and I thank God for all the blessings I take for granted from day to day, you know , little things like being able to walk, to run, talk, feed myself and even swallow my own food on my own.

There is a huge demand for this type of work and most foster homes are full in most counties.
It only takes one night a week for ten weeks to train.

Most families that foster, end up adopting the kids because you can't help to fall in love with the kids after spending so much time with them.
