Have you fostered children while having little ones of your own?

If you have, I'd like to know your experiences. Hubby and I have two little ones (in January they will turn 1 and 3). We've talked about fostering children for years now, but he wants to wait till our kids are big enough to talk really well. I'd like to know all the pros and cons you can give me!
