I really feel for you - it must be awful. But how old are you, and how old are the children, if I may ask? It might be better for the children to be in foster care with younger families, but with close and regular contact with you. I'm only 62 and OH 67 - but I am not sure we could take full-time care of 3 young children and give them all the energy and attention they deserve.

My 3 young grandchildren have been placed in foster care,I want them to live with me but social services say there were issues before ...................the issues were they placed the children with me then had to return them to their mother because social services messed up.

I want to take all of them ,social services already gave me the eldest under a residence order which they sorted

why can't I stop this and take the others as well ,they had all been placed with me twice for short time (and social even paid me for 10 weeks ) so they clearly had no problem and I still have access to them children

I just don't know what I do next

please help if you can,thank you
