[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]life insurance, and pick one of the aunts or uncles. would you really want your kids to go to some random cousin? the person may not be ideal, but there's something to be said for immediate family. on the flip side, I'm not sure I would agree to take a non-immediate relative's kids just because the parents superficially dislike the kids' own aunts/uncles.

Why should immediate family member be burdened with the child that they didn't choose?[/quote]

Dude. No one SHOULD be burdened by kids they didn't choose. But if you have a good relationship with your siblings and they left their kids orphaned I don't know a CLBC person who wouldn't feel like they COULD step it up. But I guess that is just how the families I know roll. We are the only ones of our siblings to have kids. All by choice. One set is still a guardian and has said it's an honor to be that. [/quote]

childless by choice[/quote]

That's not universal though. My sister wanted me to be the legal guardian to her DD but I told her no, it wouldn't be in my niece's best interests. Nor mine as I have my own reasons why I'm CFBC. It's not my fault that my sister chose to have a kid in spite knowing that she wouldn't get any family support (loser boyfriend who grew up in foster care, deceased parents). I would resent being placed in the caretaker role. Not my circus, not my monkeys. [/quote]
