Two weeks into fostering Lobo, we made the decision to adopt him. When we made the announcement, and the news spread, that's when it started. The infamous term "foster failure" was thrown at us. While this term is used in good humor and common jargon among the rescue community, we don't much care for it. To begin with, I don't like the word failure. It's a negative word and represents a lack of success. Our decision to adopt Lobo, and eventually Sophie (whom we had fostered for almost a year), in no way, shape or form, represents failure.
