@ianxbrutananadilewski I’ve worked with support for foster families for six years. In sweden though so I don’t really know how the system works in the US. But if I can give you one piece of advice it’s that if you feel this hesitant about you should’nt do it. It’s an extremely trying task to undertake (and rewarding if you manage to see it through). It also sounds like these kids are going to need alot of caring and help, and by extension you aswell. It’s not something I would recommend you’ll do without some form of professional support. Also one of the main reasons we saw for foster families resigning was when their own kids were negatively affected.
I don’t mean to sound overly negative but foster kids needs a strong and realiable support system around them that can withstand whatever they throw at them. Maybe the best thing you can do for them is to continue to ”just” be a positive influence in their lives.

I got one for you guys. I’ve been asked to foster between one to three of my drug addict cousins kids or else they’ll go to foster care. I’m close with them but they are all terribly behaved. Wwyd This sounds like the plot of an Adam Sandler comedy

Maybe the best thing you can do for them is to continue to ”just” be a positive influence in their lives. You're not coming off as negative at all. Philosophically speaking, I really doubt there's much difference between the foster care system in most western countries - it's probably the minutiae and red tape / nuts and bolts stuff that make up any differences. And in saying that, I feel good having someone (you) weigh in who I imagine is probably an advocate for these kids - it's really the perspective I was looking for.
But just so my drama doesn't clog up any more of the thread, let me update everyone and say that my cousin's half-sister ended up taking all three of them, which really, I think is a good thing. They're together, with family, and that's a better outcome than I initially thought would prevail. Thanks to you guys for talking me through it.

Today is my birthday. One year since I buried my beat friend and brother. It seems today is harder than his funeral. In a weird way I'm glad his funeral was on my birthday, cause we have that forever?
Been a hard year. The few highs have been amazing, but life has been beating the shit out of me. I'm lucky to have a wonderful partner. Last night was very rough. My adhd is really bad lately too. Feeling like a burden to the world. I don't know where I'm going with this.
Just hope everyone is keeping their head up, and getting through.

You've made so many hugely positive changes in your life over the last couple years. Give yourself the time to feel the negative shit, but keep that positive momentum. You got this!

Fuck me I lost a fight the other day and have what I assume is a bruised rib. I just coughed and it felt like a goddamn 30-06 Springfield passed through my chest.
Edit: Then some asshole stuck his finger in it.

I know others have worse problems but I’ve had awful gas all day! It feels like a knife in my butthole and I mean that in a bad way not a good way. Farting is sweet luxurious relief. I’ve lost track of the poops and my balloon knot is wiped raw 😭 fuckin KFC

I took a two week vacation and am on day one and I slept like all day and now I feel like a human being again.
I also had a dream where a man was murdering people who didn’t have tattoos and he found me lol

"On February 20, 2020, Badu opened an online store named Badu World Market.[127] Badu World Market features bespoke clothing, apothecary goods, musical merchandise, clothing accessories, and more. She also began selling a line of incense; one scent is named "Badu Pussy" because Badu claimed she "took lots of pairs of [her] panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them."

Someone charged $800 to my card, but my bank is undergoing maintenance for the next 4 hours so they can’t even tell me if the transactions were declined or accepted!!! Either way, they shut the card down and I can’t get a new one until the banks open back up Monday. Very wack
