Did you say you have had the kids 1 year (or at least the girls)? In my state at 1 year foster parents can hire an attorney and file as defacto parents. We just did this and as my attorney explained it...we are ask the court for TPR, and even if the state were to change their plan to RU(in our case they won't) or relative placement we can still request TPR an adoption by us and present our reasons for believing that is what is in the childs best interest. I think that other people on here could explain it better (Boulderbabe is a great person to ask on here), but I thought I would just tell you what I know from my end!
It sounds like a huge mess and like someone is just trying to cover their behind instead of really thinking about what is right for all 3 kids! Good luck!!!
