I can do this for a few years (not forever) and see the benefits for a lifetime, or I can not do it and always wonder how I could have made it work or how much better my relationship could have been. Odds are this will only be for 2-3 years until the oldest is in Kdg. or 1st grade and it will set a foundation with you and your grandchildren forever. I would do it. You couldn't have done foster care/adoption all these years if you weren't an "above and beyond the call of duty" kind of person. Ditto the above comment- I’m starting to really think in those terms.
