....take them in. Their father is a pot head and alcoholic and so is their step mother. They have lived a very volotile life, but because of the guidance of their grandmother, they are very good girls. However their grandmother's husband wont let them stay with them.
Every child in my family, immediate and extended, have had great home lives and lots of opportunities except fo these young girls. They are 9th & 10th graders and a lot of responsibility I know, but I am willing to have them come live with me. I have an extra room in my house, except I don't have a lot of extra money because I am a student and single parent. I can apply for AFDC for their expenses and that would be more than enough for their clothes, food, etc, and even some for a savings account for each.
My mother says I'm crazy for considering, but I really hate to see these young girls fall into the system. But I'm also worried about how it might affect my 5 year old son. I don't know what to do...???
