If you have guardianship than your husbands insurance would have to let you add them - that is a law - you do not have to official adopt them. If DHS has custody and you have placement then the state has to provide them with a medical card.

Going through the state the kids should be automatically given a medical card and there should be some financial assistance for your family - and daycare costs paid (at least there is in IL) if you both work full-time, but the downfall is you would be required to follow whatever they tell you. If you do have legal custody, I think you have all the say so until the judge allows (if that would ever happen) for the kids to go backv c
