I have had a friend of mines two children for 7 months now, she has not contributed anything, i have been financially responsible as well as everything else for her two kids over these 7 months. We were supposed to sign guardianship papers but she keeps putting it off, she only sees her kids maybe twice a month and doors nothing for them. Without those papers i am not able to get them into a doctor, switch schools, get assistance, get them the counseling they need, i cannot do the things for them that need to be done. At this point i have told her she has 30 days to come get her kids or DCS will be contacted to take over. I have grown attached to these boys and i love them and would hate to give them up but i don't know what else to do. i was told the guardianship papers would be $300 a child and i would have to pay for them which is fine but i guess what I'm wondering is if there is a different way to go about this.
