[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 720681, member: 1550"] There are bad foster homes. I have heard it from foster kids. There are good ones too. Not making light of your fear. Your only other options are to leave them with addict, unsafe parents who are nearly homeless, or raise them yourself, which could destroy you and your marriage, which is not pretty. I would try hard to get the girls family to decide on what to do about the girls. What if they get hurt or need ER in your care? You cant legally sign for them because you are not related to them. Without legal guardianship, i dont think you can take your grandchildren to the doctor either. I would be worried that this could turn into a legal disaster for you. It is a risk to take in children who are not yours without guardianship. The mother, who does not sound stable, could sue you if her girls have an accident in your home. You have hard decisions to make. in my opinion you need therapy, like most of us. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
