Boss,
We are going through something of the same nature at the moment. As for the misdemeanor crap, it shouldn't be an issue. Unless it's some form of abuse or neglect towards a child, or something that will endager a child it will probably not be looked at. If it's that old as well they might not even be able to bring it up, but that depends on the courts and the judge.
You will probably need to do what we just did last night and get several people to right letters stating that it's in the best interest for the children to go to you. Statements about how much you are in their lives and how much they need to stay in the family.
The courts are big on keeping children in the family if they feel it won't endanger the child/ren.
Keep the chin up and we will be praying for you

Very sorry bro. Our kids are our lives and I couldnt imagine. The good news is as long as there is family involved, like you, then they will continue to be a ward of the state. It will take some legal action, but you can get them.
My heart breaks for you. Keeping you and the Grandchildren in my prayers. You are doing the right thing. Your daughter is grown and responsible for her own actions. Your Grandchildren need you now. Don't worry about your past. You are a loving grandparent with a steady income and stabil home, right? The courts should be more than willing to have the children stay with you. It is definitly in their best interest. I am no lawyer, so this is what I believe to be common sense. Cover your basis and get legal advice at least.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Very sorry to hear.
Couldn't imagine.
Prayers sent.

I have a sister who's also irresponsible, so I have an idea of what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I agree with everyone here, and would say at the least get legal advice. Legal representation in court would show CPS and the judge that you're serious about keeping your grandchildren safe with your family. I just don't understand why they didn't contact you before taking the girls. Every case/caseworker is different. Be strong, good things will happen in the end.
However screwed up CPS can be..they still prefer kids to be their true families, as long as they are good people.
Misdemeanors should not be a problem. There probably would be stipulations about your step daughters extent of contact with the kids though.
Best wishes.

Hey don't worry about your past. Stay focused & diligent and it will work in your favor. Those kids definitely need to be with you all as opposed to someone else. Get ready for the real test of raising them amidst the confusion.
In the long run, it sounds like having the children removed from their "irresponsible" mother might well be the best outcome for them. I hope it serves as a wake up call for her to become an adult.
It's not your fault your stepdaughter did not learn the lessons you tried to teach. You're doing the right thing by stepping up to accept the responsibility of caring for the kids.
Best wishes.
