Is it normal to feel somewhat guilty about adopting a dog you just meant to foster?

My wife and I decided to foster a pregnant AmStaff, and keep fostering her and the puppies until good homes were found. Well soon we fell in love with our sweet girl and decided there was no way we could let her go. We also adopted the two puppies she had as well. I realize we did a good thing by trying to foster, but I feel so guilty that we couldn't stick to the plan. There are so many other dogs we could helped, and now we can't.

We love pit bulls dearly and think they're amazing dogs. Which is why we wanted to do what we could to help, and we can't even do that. Obviously it will be many, many years till we're able to try again, but how do you form that bond, and friendship, and then just let them go to another home?
