#and if the kids were removed due to bullshit poverty reasons that could be resolved with less money than the state pays foster parents...

Aaaa congratulations on finishing the foster care au!!!! As a lil cheer for it, tell me some silly thoughts about it? For funnzies before it starts posting?

Okay so the last chapter/epilogue is kind of a 'one year later' deal, but I have also had Thoughts about the further future. Like, the whole plot of the fic is 'the Molinas foster', so what happens once the first batch (Reggie and Willie) are like, adults? Can you imagine when Julie and the Phantoms makes it big, and Ray's still fostering?

Some poor kid who just started to settle in at Ray's comes down the stairs for family dinner to find Grammy Award Winning Julie and the Phantoms in the living room, fighting over the Just Dance wiimote, and oh my god is that Carlos The Ghost Toaster???? From the super popular ghost hunting show on youtube???

And Ray is just oblivious like, um yeah there's pictures all around the house. And he shows off the family pictures and the kid is like: um no these are just a bunch of teenage dweebs.

(Willie just before he's tackled onto the couch by Alex to give him back the wiimote: THEY'RE STILL DWEEBS, DON'T WORRY.)
