My brother and sil have one child aged 7 - they are wonderful people
Basic story: SIL lost her stepmum last year and her Dad died yesterday, leaving 2 children aged 12 and 2. My brother and sil would love to take on the two children but simply can't afford to - no need to go into it, they just can't afford to do it so they told social services if they can get £700 a month - sil's earnings - they can, and will happily, take the children. But apparantly it's "not as simple as that" even tho it will cost £300 a week to put the children into foster care.
The children are being collected from my brother's house at the end of next week - they will be devastated to let them go - PLEASE can anyone help or advise?
