Fair enough, but most dogs in rescue haven't been abused - it's much rarer than people tend to think. As I said before, neglect is much more common. There are issue that go along with that, undersocialized dogs can definitely have issues to work through.
For this particular dog, and future rescues, I always say to err on the side of caution. I know FAR more happy stories about foster pups that fit right in with no issues at all than I do ones that don't work out, but when there's kids in the mix it's always better to start off more careful and relax as you go.
Something that might help both your and your wife feel safer would be to learn extensively about dog body language - that will do far more than anything else to help you know when you can move forward with your foster pups and daughter safely.
I'd start with these; On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals by Turid Rugaas and Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Brenda Aloff As well as Kids and Dogs: A Professional's Guide to Helping Families by Colleen Pelar.
Ho-lee-shit. Are you looking for a 31 year old woman to foster? Because if I ever get sick, I want to be in your care. You are very much in no way shape or form failing these kittens or your cats. Not even a little. I've been fostering since July and am currently on kittens 16 and 17 in from 6 litters, so let me try to give you some advice since being a first time foster is still fresh enough in my mind, but I've (mostly) gotten over the "I'm a horrible person and am killing every animal trying to save them" phase. You seriously remind me so much of myself it's scary. I had the kitten room covered in bleachable sheets (which lasted maybe 3 hours) and would steam clean every time I'd take them to the vet for shots. I still have a crazy between litters routine, but I've chilled out quite a bit and hopefully over time you will too.
Fostering most certainly is a part time job, especially in the beginning when you have exactly 0 chill and you're terrified of doing any little thing wrong. Eventually you get into a routine where it becomes more manageable, and every litter just has SOMETHING going on with them. Every litter I've brought in has basically been adding to my toolkit of how to handle not killing these fragile creatures. The next litter you have, you'll learn some new tricks. Eventually you'll run into issues and go "Oh yeah, I'll just do ___" but right now it feels like your whole world is collapsing in on itself because this is new, you don't have a baseline, and when you don't see success despite all your effort, it feels like YOU are at fault. But you aren't. You're a nurse. If you give someone the standard treatment for a standard issue, and they don't respond is it your fault? No, you move onto the next thing until something works. That's what happened with these kittens. The first thing just didn't work, the new thing is working better! Maybe you could be a wizard and use magic to make the first medicine work, but other than that you aren't going to magically make it work. I know you know this deep down, I'm just reminding you <3
As for your current litter of critters, they seem rather sick. Medicating 5 very sad kittens with such a strict cleaning routine is pretty intense for a first time foster, so don't think that the stress is not normal or anything. Perfect kittens is a learning curve, let alone sick ones! It does not surprise me that they didn't have that magical turn around you wish they had. Kittens get easily stressed, and that can be really terribad for their health. As wonderful as your home is and the over the top good job you're doing, that's still new smells and sounds and sights. Recovering is very hard when they're sick. And they had a lot to recover from!
