Insanemomof3 replied: Ok, for those of you who were not here...short version, my sister lost her 3 kids because she was a drug user. She had her daughter in March and she tested positive for meth. So they took the kids. I was trying to get custody, but , well there have been a few hitches.

I got an email from my sister last July. She apologized to me for all the troubles that her and I had. She told me she was finally in treatment and had been clean for 30 days. I wrote back telling her that I was proud of her. She wanted me to come see her but since I was preggo and on bedrest I was not allowed to. (Now I wish that I had.)

On August 19th, my sister passed away. The kids were not with her still, she was on her way to getting them back. She had been clean for 2 months, and the doctor told her that she had an enlarged heart, but she should be fine. Well, he was wrong. The drug abuse had taken its toll. She died at 23. I feel like I lost my child. I raised her. I love her.

So now the kids need to be placed with another family permanently. We just don't know who is getting them at this point. I don't think that I will take them because of my small children. Her kids are considered "special needs" and the caseworker thinks that would be too tough on me with my kids too. So we are working together to find a good family to take them and let me have visitation.

So there is my update. Sorry to be sad...this is a hard time for me. Christmas is hard without her.

mckayleesmom replied: Im so sorry for your loss...she was the same age as me. I hope that the kids find the loving home they need, and its great that you still get visitation wherever they go.

MommyToAshley replied: Oh Denise... I am sooo sorry. It just doesn't seem right for all of this to happen when your sister was trying to get back on her feet. At least you had the opportunity to let her know how proud of her you were!

I hope you are able to find a good family for the children... will you still get to visit them?

I wish I had the right words to say how I feel, I just feel so bad for you and the children. Please know that we are here for you. You and the children are in my prayers.
