Yeah, mom wanted a dozen but couldn't have any more after #11, so they started fostering. Then they started adopting and didn't want to split up siblings who were related, and that led to the seven adoptions. They've got big hearts for sure.

Fostering is nice, but you're running a barn with that many kids rather then having actually meaningful relationships. How big of a house do you need for that? How do you afford food for 18 people? It's very irresponsible to take care of that many kids.

You're absolutely right.

The state government does have some funding to assist fosters, but those choices are also why they have no retirement.
