You might not know it - but you do a great service to A children, who might other vice would have ended up either worse damaged for the rest of their life - or also dead, killed by predators, or just vanishing into thin air, because the parent's could not care less of what happened to them... Even if you want to "strange" the child sometimes you love him - and he know you do.. He could have had a whole different future, if you and your wife had not been there and adopted him, and raised him as you own...
Thankfully our fosterpartens did that, raised us as we was their own children, we was as part of that family as the biological ones. But as they told us, when we was grown up, they sometimes wondered why they had make them self so much problems.. I am and my brother was rather unruly when we first come into the home - our parents had not doing anything to do the right thing for us - and we was maybe even from young age at a great disadvantage compared to other children, who have had normal upbringning... And to some degree, we both have disabilities who is a handicap we both have to live with... For the rest of our life..
I just wish many more would give a children a new life, that be in the foster care system - or as adoptive parents.. SO extremely many young children have not the security and comfort they Deserve, and many also end up in the "system" from one home to another... Thankfully I and my brother as not one of them - but I do know a few, who was put into one home, and when they was to "unruly" was put into another home, and then a 3th home and so one.. By the age of 18, as yong adults, they was a messed up and not exactly ready to stand on their own two feet. And in most cases had not the support of their foster parents, of biological parents at all... And many end up either as small time criminals - or as junkies... All because they was not given a fair Chance at all, in life
