As a counseling services manager who has staff working with foster parents everyday, the number one consideration I think that foster parents should consider is the time commitment around interactions with the the birth parents. Other considerations should be the general perspectives around age, gender issues, and then behavioral issues..how will you best handle a child prone to destructive behaviors. I've known children who have pyromania issues. I'm sure you have many elements you are covering so i won't go on, but that supervised visit issue with taking the children to social workers for visits and coordinating those visits with parents can be an issue.
