Just what *is* an appropriate motivation to be a foster parent?

Gab asked this question based on Marisa’s link and I decided that this conversation needed a special post all its own.  Indeed, people (especially myself) outline all of the wrong reasons people become foster parents.  But it seems that identifying the right kind of drive is more illusive?
