She is most definitely relation to the girls... blood is strong.
I will be meeting w/attorney for permanent custody on Wednesday. I don't feel the need to adopt... she calls me Aunt Lisa. I have been advised not to adopt unless it is something we really want to do, as there should be SS benefits from her mother.
Someone from social services with the schools here locally has been great in helping us out. I was a little apprehensive on how to go about everything but they have been wonderful and supportive.
I'm so happy for you.
You will have to change your email addy now......LOL!
