[QUOTE="donna723, post: 393367, member: 1883"] Lisa, I absolutely think you're doing the right thing and I think your suspicions are probably right on too. Maybe they are more bonded with Evan since he's the youngest but it's almost creepy that they seem to be trying to keep him a "baby", to his detriment. And maybe they think that if they still have the youngest one, he will be enough of a meal ticket. The older two are becoming a problem to them now because they're old enough to complain about the lifestyle they have been forced in to, and they know there's something better for them out there. And they're old enough now to accurately relate to you (or CPS) what really goes on in their family. I would think that if they voluntarily turned over the two older children, one call to CPS would result in the younger one coming to you too. And it may not turn out as bad as you're thinking. I know they are major difficult child's now but as chaotic as their young lives have been so far, that's almost a given. It wouldn't be easy, but if they are with you, once they are in a stable, loving, secure home and are living a more normal life, you may see HUGE changes in those kids. I know you never planned to be raising a whole new set of kids but it's a wonderful thing you're doing and my hat is of to you, my friend! [/QUOTE]
