This makes no sense to me, either! There are some very valid reasons for long term care rather than adoption, but not in the case of them WANTING to be adopted. I'd like to know how their sister feels about it - does SHE have an objection to them being adopted? No legal advice - but I WOULD stress to the boys that you are still a family, you are mom and dad, and they are your forever, no matter whether or not they have the little piece of paper to prove it. (I know it's so much more than that...but still. My friend has an adult foster brother and sister. They are now in their 20's - they were long term and never adopted, but they even legally changed their last names to the family name when they were able to! So they are a part of that family in every REAL way).
