Temporary Guardianship: Fill & Download for Free

If a mother can't cope and puts her five year old twins up for adoption, can their 17 year old brother apply for custody of his young siblings, and be successful?No. He's not old enough to be legally responsible for his siblings. He's also unlikely at 17 to qualify as a guardian by passing the financial checks, home checks, etc.A better plan would be for him to convince an adult to ask for guardianship. The children's father, a grandparent, aunt, or even a close friend of the family.The mother can sign over temporary guardianship of the children voluntarily and quite easily.

We were petitioning the court for a permanent guardianship for a 4 year old girl. She had been living with us for about 6 months under a temporary guardianship, due to her mother dumping her at my girlfriend’s house. “Mom” wanted to run the streets and do drugs, and the child was in the way of her pursuing that lifestyle. My friend has a chronic illness and could not care for another child, and asked us to take her since we were currently going to adoption classes. It seemed an answer to our prayers.The court hearings were going smoothly until suddenly the biological father AND mother turned up. Notices had been sent to all known family that the case was proceeding, and although no family members actually wanted the child, they rallied the parents to show up at the hearing.The judge sent me, my husband, our attorney, the court investigator, and the two parents into a conference room to discuss the guardianship. We had hoped it would ultimately lead to adoption, and we had never met the biological parents. “Dad” was fresh out of prison, and “Mom” was fresh off the streets. Family members who were sympathetic to our case had found her performing sexual favors for drugs in a seedy part of town.What was ridiculous was having to sit across the table from these two, and wonder how in the world they had produced such a beautiful, smart, happy child. They didn’t actually want her back, but they didn’t want anyone else to have her either. They got in a heated argument about who was the worst human being, and throwing accusations back and forth until the investigator had to get between them.One of the loudest arguments was about who was the worse drug addict.“Hey, at least I only SMOKE heroin, YOU shoot it up!”(Before our case was over, both parents were back in jail on numerous charges involving drugs, theft and prostitution.)
