[quote=Anonymous][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]

PP you are responding to.   EXACTLY.   IF op just wanted information on how to do this, and not a detailed discussion on whether it was a good idea to do so -- just post the facts, which I assume include the fact that the parents had requested it, otherwise what a damn foolish thing to be asking advice on, because it is a terrible idea.[/quote]

OP again from that thread.

[quote]I'm trying to find more information on temporary guardianship and if anyone has experience in this area they can share[/quote]

I still fail to see how this invites people to discuss the merits of whether we should make our offer.  I think I was quite clear that I was not interested in discussing the merits of the idea.

If you had read the thread, you would have seen the girls had lived with on several other occasions.  It's not like our offer was something really different than what we had been doing in the past. As I noted in a follow up post, this would be the first time we would do it officially so that we could make medical decisions and have standing with the school.  I was actually expecting people to take me to task for having taken care of the girls previously without some sort of official documentation.  And, if you had read my follow up, you would have read that the mother was very appreciative of our offer because it affords her more options.  What's becoming more clear to me is that some people have a very difficult time not being able to express their opinion no matter how irrelevant it is.  Again, why not start your own thread?[/quote]
