text: why do some people be foster parents for the money and why cant agencies see this before hand?   the need for foster parents is so high i have a feeling alot of agencies have lowered the standards for becoming foster parents. you would think this day and age with the fear and reality  of all the crimes commited against children the standards would be higher, i have no idea if this is true or not. there are many great foster parents that think of the child's welfare before theirs and dedicate their life to helping displaced children. but just like everything else there are bad seeds/people in all walks of life. this country and our current government are in chaos, and every level of the federal government and alot of state governments are full of corruption and incompetence, and the people that suffer the most are the poor and the children.
