Wow Elizabeth.
Unfortunately these kids don't get into the system because life was good for them. If life was good for them no one would have taken them in the first place. Since the most formative years are from birth til five years old, if someone fucked that up there is little chance of fully recovering them psychologically. It takes super special people to deal with this. I know my limits and I just couldn't do it. I thought about adoption after my sister did it. My current husband badly wanted to at one point. I watched the drama unfold and I refused to do it. I have too much of my own life to sacrifice everything to deal with those issues. Ignoring as I have witnessed in my family would never have been an option so I would have been totally, utterly consumed.
There are people who thrive on this though. I meet them all the time doing pony parties. Did one for a foster family a month or so ago. They were amazing people with kids from every walk of life and including every issue known to mankind. I admire it, but know I couldn't do it.
