My 18 year old sister has 2 kids, who are in state custody. She's trying to get them back, but things don't look good for her. Her boyfriend (the father of the kids) is a 30 y/o alcoholic who's on probation. My sister and her boyfriend have just split up. My sister is looking for a new apartment right now, along with starting back at her job (she was on maternity leave) and finishing highschool. She and her (ex)boyfriend seem to have endless financial problems.
My husband and I have offered to adopt the kids (which my sister would be ok with). But I think it would be too much for us right now. We're moving to a different continent in 2 weeks, where he'll be starting a new job, and I'll be starting university. So even though we have a stable home, I don't think either of us would have enough time for 2 kids.
My question is..if you have any advice on what my sister can do? Or if you have any advice on whether or not (or how it would be possible) that I take the kids.
