My husband and I have no one that we would want to leave our children with if we were both to die. Either the people/family we have wouldn't want the responsibility of 3 more children or we feel they would not be loved and cared for like we would want them to be. Aside from praying that we both don't die, are there any suggestions?

In response to you question I will ask you one. How would you feel if you kids were split up and went 3 different places and would not know where each other went? Think about that. I really don't think anyone could ever love a child the way the mother and father love them. This may be a husband and wife that have adopted a baby from birth or just natural birth parents. Yes your kids may get lucky and find good families but the likely hood of them all getting adopted by the same family is very slim. Think about this and make up your mind. You may want to talk to your family and really talk to them about this. It is a very good question. Especially in these times of war.

My hubby and I feel the same way...we have a couple who have been great friends and love our kids and kids in general. If anything were ever (god forbid) to happen they would take care of them. Do your children have god parents or some close family friends? They are good choices if no family is available.

I have a wonderful cousin who I made godmother of my daughter, if anything happens, she's first in line. If she can't or won't, my best friend or big brother would probably take over. It's important to find somebody! If social services takes over, who knows who'd care for them, I've heard horror stories about some foster parents!

I would leave my children with my "sister". She is my oldest and closest friend and almost like a sister. I know she would really take care of them as if they were her own
If you feel there isn´t anyone who would take care of them then you should re-evaluate the people who consider family/friends... Do they really care for you?

Lol, it's funny that you should randomly think of such a horrible thing right now. I say you just wait till it happens and let social services take care of that. Because, if you can't leave them to anyone (like friends or family), then who else will take care of such a problem??

Find some friends that you could trust should the tragedy occur, and make sure you write in your will. Never, ever leave it up to the state to decide.

I know exactly what you mean, yet I do not have an answer. All I have is my daughter. It's just the two of us.
