If they are to be with their family, the sooner they get to join them the better. With the great distance between the states, visitation would be next to impossible. The longer they stay with me the deeper their attachment will be. I'd rather they spend those months attaching to the family they will be spending the rest of their lives with. The first five months of their lives were spent with no one particular caregiver. They don't need more disruptions.
I don't by any means feel my home is superior to anyone else's. I simply know the environment and that I've been blessed with family members who don't skirt the law and cause unneeded drama and stress. I pray I never am faced with the issues the aunt is having to deal with knowing I am still related to those causing the problems. I know you don't stop loving someone simply because they make bad choices and it is a difficult decision to have to avoid them when they do.
