These workers have seen scores or hundreds or thousands of FPs let hundreds or thousands of children go. If they are guilt-tripping you about it -- that is the LEAST professional response possible. It's ridiculous and unnecessary. *They* should be worried that if they mistreat you that you'll just drop out. In my state, about 50% of FPs drop out every year, treatment like this being one reason.
One of the reasons FPs let children go is because the initial description of the children's behavior was fake or understated. It's a "sales job", vs an honest presentation. I am sure this was the case for you. Think about it, what were you told about these boys?
I know people whose children have been harmed by foster children. You *must* do what's necessary for the health of your children, physical, emotional, mental. As well as your own health on all 3 levels... you are the hearth fire your children warm themselves at, replenish themselves at. You're making the absolute correct decision.
