I agree that it depends on whether or not you think you can handle saying goodbye so often to the animals you care for. If it were me, I'd try fostering first. You can see what it's like to care for pigs, how much time and effort and emotional investment it is. You can even gauge cost, even if you aren't the one paying for things. You'd both discover if you like having pigs and if you like fostering at the same time. If you don't like fostering, but like the pigs then you can adopt a pair of your own. And obviously if pig care is too much to you, you only have to wait until your fosters have been adopted to move on.
