    She did not get the kids back, have not herd any details and probably wont unless docs is able to tell me. Now I guess now docs will evalluate everyone going for the kids and make a decision on whats best. I did speak to a foster parent in town and she belives that I will not get the kids because I have a child under two, I am still going to try my hardest but that was a tough blow. I cannot stop thinking about my sister her in pain screaming down the phone at me keeps running through my head. Im so scared because she feels she has nothing left to live for and totally blames me and mum. We did report her to docs but so did 13 people other than us. Deep down I know I did the right thing but blood is thicker than water keeps running through my head. Also the poor confused kids I wish I could see them.

    Well don't lose hope on hearsay. And don't allow yourself to feel guilty for the choices your sister has made. It sounds like she has made some bad decisions but they were her decisions and at the end of the day, the children's wellbeing is more important than protecting your sister. But I know you know that.

    If you can, I would get in touch with your sister, tell her you love her but that she has to take responsibility for her actions ... and you will be there for her 100% when she wants to turn her life around. But until then, the kids come first.

    Good luck! I haven't been in your situation exactly but I totally know how sucky it is when someone close keeps *****ing up.

    Blood is thicker than water but these kids are your blood too. What you did was very difficult but it was right. Let’s hope your sister can get herself sorted out.
