Big decisions ahead for us

Its been a roller coaster of a day for us. My step-MIL called today and we got to talking about my SIL and her kids. Lets just say my SIL doesnt come close to winning the "Mother of the Year" award. There has been at least 8 years of bad parenting/neglect because that is how old her oldest child is. I could name off story after story of neglect. There has been talks in the family for a while now about confronting her and asking her to sign over her children OR turning her into CPS (yet again). Well, I heard more stuff about the children today and none of it was good. So once again, we are talking about it. Its alot of decision making and the risks are high. It looks like everyone is on the same page right now. But since we would be the ones to adopt the boys, we have to really think about it. So Im kinda feeling emotionally drained right now because we have to evaluate all of the possibilities.
So if you guys could please keep our families in mind while we discuss this again, I would appreciate it.

Very well said Kerstin. I know I have only been here for about two days, but know my prayers are with you and the boys Shawna.
