hbarron, No doubt this is incredibly hard on your extended family--and even harder on the children. I'm so sorry for you all.
There must be a special circumstance because in CA the adoptive parents are identified before parental rights are terminated, and I've never heard of Social Services switching placements after termination like that. So my first advice is to ask for some straight answers from the social worker about why that was.
Next, request a bonding/attachment study. This is a report done by a social worker or therapist who observes the children with their foster parents and separately with the grandfather. This study will likely show that they have an attachment with their foster parents and not as much with their grandfather. Although a study like this can be ignored, the judge may consider it.
Best wishes as you and your family members advocate for these boys.
