Foster Care with intent to Adopt

[JeffreyLebowski]

good sentiment by you. If it were me, I'd stay away. Would rather spend resources on my own kids.

Also, it's a cousin's kid, not a sibling's kid. If I was the uncle I might feel differently, but for a wife's cousin's kid, I would stay away.

I've got the same feeling. A cousins kid, I wouldn't really worry about, well in all honesty I don't care about my GF's brothers or sister or parents for that matter.

Just because someone is family doesn't mean you have to automatically care about them.
So many people get caught up in that trap that family is 1st over anything else.
Sorry, I would never risk ruining my life and my biological childrens lives to help out a distant cousin.
And just because the kid is in foster care doesn't mean they will be screwed up. Babies have a much better chance at being adopted and put into a caring home. The older kids are the ones that will be screwed up by being given up and bounced from foster to foster.
