Guardianship/anxiety
Hello all, not sure where to ask this so giving a shot here. We fostered my husbands 2 nephews almost three years ago and around a year in we decided to go with guardianship as we knew his sister would not sign for adoption. We felt this was the safest choice as she already petitioned once to get them back but did not meet all qualifications. This time around she is petitioning again to get the kids back but we feel that they have established well here and that if they were to go back, their quality of living would be lowered and they would not be safe. Has anyone had to deal with this situation? There are so many unknowns right now and it’s just very anxiety inducing as they have bonded to my husband and I so well the past almost 3 years. The first time she petitioned we thought the boys would go back but she was denied. Then gaurdianship became our normal. How many times can a parent petition? Is it common for guardianship to be released quickly? FYI the reason they are in our care had to do with SA so can’t go into detail.
