YDKJ deals, in part, in searching for foster parents. So what makes good foster parents?

Every person who wants to help these special children falls into one of two categories: foster parent or adoptive parent. Foster parents realize that they are temporary and adoptive parents have trouble with that. It is imperative that the correct fit be distinguished if there is to be any measure of success. There is a place for each, but trouble can happen when a foster parent has the mindset of an adoptive parent, and vice versa.

Probably the most important thing is for the foster/adoptive parent to know him-or-herself well enough to know where he or she would shine.
