So no, they are not\/shouldn\u2019t be a goal at all cost that\u2019s disregarding Life.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be real.<\/p>\n<p>Also because I have a couple of cases around me these days but seriously, what biological means when you learn that your dad isn\u2019t your biological dad even though you thought he was all your life? That\u2019s right: biological, DNA-bonded connection doesn\u2019t mean anything and you people who haven\u2019t been adopted and had nice childhoods, you agree on this while totally hoping it\u2019s untrue. Others wish it wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, it is true.<\/p>\n<p>By <em>biological parents are the best<\/em>, you mean stability. But stability is not a synonym of biological parents. Stability comes from people who care about you, the social system around you. You can be raised by a foster family, an adoptive family, wolves or even pigeons and be happy as long as you get a healthy, stable environment that provides what is needed. Nothing biological in this bitch.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This has led to the perception that foster families are in it for the money.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So? Firemen are getting paid to rescue people, how fucking gross. How could they do that? If you rescue people, how could you get money from that? Aren\u2019t you supposed to live on God\u2019s love? (I just puked in my mouth a little)<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes America, you are pretty weird: everybody is trying to make it, that\u2019s a constant for all of us. My foster mom that I went to visit last weekend, in part did this for money. She was a nanny, she enrolled as a foster mom to make more money, knowing that she was good at doing her job and I would give her a 5\/5 for the care she provided. Even if she made a small profit on me \u2013I\u2019m pretty sure she hasn\u2019t- I\u2019m like, <em>\u201cgood for you!
