[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if the SW finds some kind of abuse, the kids aren't necessarily being removed just like that. Taking the kids out of the home is a last resort - after parenting classes, monitoring visits, etc have failed - or if there's a life threatening situation.

Then, if the kids are removed, it will be years before parental rights are terminated, if they are to be terminated at all. Kinship care if the go-to choice in this situation, but the closest relative with an established relationship who is found fit by the courts to be a temporary guardian may or may not be you. If it's not you, you may not get visitation rights while the kid is assigned to a relative on the other side of the family who doesn't know you - or assigned to just straight up neighbors.

This is such a crap shoot. Do it if you believe your niece is in danger. Don't do it because you think it means you'll get to keep her - that's selfish and foolish. [/quote]

OP is long-gone. This was almost four years ago. Give..it..up. [/quote]
