[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have no good candidates really. My siblings aren’t local and don’t have stable lives in which to properly raise kids. My husband’s only sibling is a terrible person and lives abroad anyway. We don’t have any friends close enough to ask. So it’s my parents but they’re in their 70s and our kids are young so I know it’s not a great option either…sigh [/quote]

I'm the PP who asked if kids always go into foster care absent of a will, and we are in the same position.  I'm an only child.  DH has a brother, but he and his wife have young children of their own and are a military family, so they move frequently.  Grandparents are all well into their 70s, and we don't have friends close enough that I would feel comfortable making this kind of request.
DH's brother would likely take them without objection, but I know the constant moves would be unsettling for our children, as would the distance from my parents, to whom they are very close.
This is one of those things that keeps me up at night when I start to dwell on it.[/quote]
