[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the PP who keeps talking about asking for how to go about getting temporary guardianship (or whatever) -- your mistake is in giving way too many details about the situation.

If you just want technical details just give the bare minimum information needed:

We live in x county in Y state.  We want to offer to take temporary guardianship of two children [b]whose parents are asking us to do so[/b].   Do you know what steps we need to take?[/quote]

I just want to state for the record that nowhere in the guardianship post was this stated. The OP clearly seemed to be acting unilaterally, and that is what drove much of the (since deleted) objection.[/quote]

I'm the OP of that thread.  This is a quote from my original post [quote]My DH and I would like to [b]offer [/b]to keep the kids until at least the end of the school year to give the mother a chance to settle into the new state, find a job and line up housing[/quote](emphasis added).  In my second post, I indicated the kids had lived with us on several occasions for extended periods already and this would just be the first time it was done officially.  It's true that we had not yet been "asked" to do it but I still fail to see how people could interpret that as us acting "unilaterally" or that we were trying to "take" the children.  If we were trying to "take" the kids as some accused us of doing, I would have asked about "taking custody" not "temporary guardianship".  There is a signicant difference between the two.  [/quote]
