[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734356, member: 1550"] I'll be honest. I have done foster care, but was in my 40s. I feel you are VERY young and inexperienced for teens not that much younger than you are. And you are doing this on the cusp of a first marriage in which neither of you raised a child, let alone difficult teen, let alone two. My daughter is a very mature 21 and I can't even see her okay with this and she is a Corrections Officer. If you are committed to this then I hope you get professional help. This will be no picnic and could impact your new marriage. in my opinion you both need older, wiser mentors who have been parents already. 24 is extremely young for this sort of responsibility. What if you get pregnant??? Can you handle both of them plus the high needs of an infant? Will these boys accept an infant? In the end this is your decision. I hope it works out and will cross my fingers! And of course I hope it works well! Love and light!! [/QUOTE]
