It's so hard when it looks like DCFS is taking steps to remove the kids. But, you know, DCFS is a gigantic bureaucracy, and they have to take all the required bureaucratic steps in order to make sure that your adoption, when it happens, is legal and can't be challenged. So they HAVE to homestudy any relatives that request a study, even if they know from the get-go that they'll never ever pass. They HAVE to give the bioparents therapeutic services, even though they know they'll just wash out. If DCFS doesn't go through all the motions, the adoption can be challenged in court. And that is the last thing on earth that you would want.
I think, based on what you say, that everything is going to work out in your favor. Biomom is acting crazy, biograndma's a risk, and the kids are thriving in your care. Just hang tight, throw all your energy into those wonderful kids, and let the rollercoaster roll. You'll get to the station in one piece even if the ride scares the pants off you!!!
Hugs, thoughts and prayers coming your way.
