The current foster system is less of a structural issue, and more of a volunteering issue. My neighbor fosters kids, and he's told me multiple times that it's not for everyone, and extremely difficult to do emotionally. The toughest part is knowing that you canmt financially support both adopting your foster kids, while simultaneously fostering more kids, so the idea of consistently getting close to kids then watching them leave is emotionally taxing. On the other hand, if you do adopt your foster kid(s), then you can't afford to continue fostering kids, leaving more kids in orphanages. The difficult part in all of this is that some people just donmt have it in them to put themselves in this dilemma, so you can't blame people that don't want to foster children.
