[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry folks are being so awful on this thread, OP.  I think you should take the girls, but I understand why you have reservations/resentment about it.  You had a plan, and now you have to grieve that lost future for a bit before embracing your new reality.  I get that.

But...I think you know what you have to do.  I'd definitely talk to a lawyer or join that FB group that a PP linked so that you can get your guardianship ducks in a row.  You may be able to get custody of the kids in a kinship care sort of situation, and get help from the state in raising them if they are technically wards of the state but in kinship care with you.

Thank you!

Finances were definitely another concern and I did consider receiving state assistance. Not sure how that would work given that their residents in one state and I live in another.

Financially we'll do okay, but I know that kids are expensive! Fortunately, I also believe my family would step up to help out. They already do so for the girls.

And I'm not on FB but I will check online to see if there are any other support groups. I'm sure there must be.[/quote]
