[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 749048, member: 16024"] Leafy, I am dismayed at the situation that you face—both that your grands are troubled and that the 14 year old will soon be a father. I would assume that if you take on the guardianship of this boy, you take on whatever obligations he brings with him. Both of these kids are minors, so the adults will be left holding the bag. I just want to throw something out there, as you are considering all the options—rather than taking them all in, would you consider taking just the younger two, or perhaps just your granddaughter? I know this would be hard, and not a great situation, but none of the options you have are great. I wonder if separating the boys might be a good thing for them, at least for a while. My step-brother had to make this decision back in the fall. He and his wife took in their oldest two grands, but they are just not able to take the younger three. Luckily the other grandparents were able to take them. There are no right answers here. [/QUOTE]
