[QUOTE="donna723, post: 391260, member: 1883"] Lisa, devious or not, if there's any way you could get temporary custody of those kids, I think you should do it. And like you said, if she loved those kids she would jump at the chance to get them out of that shelter. She knows they're unhappy and she knows that they would much rather be with you in a stable environment. They had just enough of a taste of the "normal" life while they were with you, they're probably even more miserable to be back in a homeless shelter now. Whatever you decide to do, you should probably do it quickly though. If she keeps on having problems with the staff, they could all end up getting booted out of there and then it would be even more difficult for you to take the kids with you but not the parents. I'm not sure about the legalities though. If she just signs over temporary custody to you to get the kids out of the shelter, would they still be eligible for the govt. assistance they're getting now? If worse comes to worst, you can still go the CPS route and then they would officially be with you as foster children and you would get the same stipend to care for them that other foster parents receive.
