[QUOTE="donna723, post: 393684, member: 1883"] Lisa, just thinking out loud here. I know that you can't rush in to anything and that it all has to be done exactly right. But the more I think about it, the more I think CPS may be your best bet. I may be over simplifying too - I do know how difficult and complicated it all is. If this happened here, CPS would undoubtable take all three children. The parents would not be able to pick and choose which children stayed and which ones went. And if there were relatives willing and able to take them, they would be placed with them rather than trying to find a foster home capable of taking all three or having to split them up. Since their goal is supposed to be to reunite the family, the parents would be given a list of things that they must accomplish before custody of the children could be returned to them. They would have to prove they could provide a stable, permanent home, had the financial resources to care for the children, and were proven to be suitable, responsible parents. And since these two would probably never be able to do this, the "temporary" arrangements would then be able to become permanent. I think it's a very good idea to call CPS and talk with someone there and just see what your options are. [/QUOTE]
