Is this a matter of you being the only "unmarried" relative and therefore you are free and can take on this responsibilty? Why are you obligated to take them on? If the parents are drug addicts perhaps the kids would be best adopted...
As for adult children moving home... just say no, otherwise you are stuck with them 'til you go to the old age home...

well in my case, as i have mentioned I have already raised my g baby for 3 out of 4 years, yes My son is on drugs, so are millions of other people, I love my son with all my heart as I do these g-babies. He was my Baby. Now as a matter of fact I am the only relative around. but that would make no difference to me I would fight like hell for all of my G babies.
Sometimes, doing the responsible thing is giving your children to some one who loves them and will take good care of them while you get your shit together so you can be a parent in some capacity.
I am frustrated, I am disappointed, and a little relieved at the same time.
it isnt written in the handbook, I have to take them....no
but it is 100% in my heart......I love those babies , and could never stand them to be with strangers or in the system.
I have 5, 4yrs old and under..... I would take them all .
just been one crazy ass week
just had to scream for a second is all.
