This story sounds very one sided. Regardless of whether the sister Shelly is 20 or 40, if she is willing to take on the responsibility of her younger sibling, she should be applauded for that. So many of our young people are wrapped up in themselves and wouldn't dream of taking on such a responsibility. It sounds like this young lady shows great maturity by even considering taking on the care of a special needs child. Shelly should be assessed by social workers to determine her suitability, not by a foster parent who bases her assessment on a myspace page.
