We did actually discuss the subject of "Foster's Time" and its implications in this thread here: http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2618.

Basically, it doesn't strike me as being particularly troublesome or remarkable, since I see this as a pretty common technique within animated shows. Characters may be allocated back-stories such as Wilt's, but for all intents and purposes they're more-or-less frozen in the current physical age they were when the series began. I suppose this is more of an issue with Mac, who'd be on the brink of his teens by now if this were indeed the real world, than it is with the imaginary friends.
