Only if all of your blood relatives do not wish to take custody. Then your roommates will stand in line with the state and every other stranger who wishes to play the custody lottery

OMG! You all live together, not only slept with, but all went and made babies with the SAME guy???

And you have 4 kids? Are all his? How many total kids does this guy have? I mean between you three gals, or are there more besides three moms with his kids?

question

Do you have a sister who is Lonelyandsad... named Kelly?

Shoot, you even write like her, no spacing after commas, and giving names and all.
Well... anyway...
Sorry for your loss.

The only way for them to get custody of the children, is if no other blood relatives want custody(I think someone said that already) But you can make a WILL that states if something happens to you, and no other blood relatives want custody, then the state can leave the kids with them. But that is an iffie situation.

Sounds like either Polygamy, a weird family cult of some kind, or one of those Mormon offshoots from back in time. :rolleyes: Bet it was interesting around there while he was alive!

Okay dokay

Okay Samantha... :rolleyes:

So when you go to the lawyer today :rolleyes: , you will hear what Belize Breeze says and realize blood is thicker than kool-aid.

You and your little cult will see that the father's family and your family have first dibs. If for some reason :rolleyes: , they( family) think it might not be their cup of tea to take care of the tots,( that you started having since 20 while he is having children with your roommates as well :rolleyes: );the children will go into the system. Wards of the state. People who can be deemed appropriate and reliable and um... well not the usual suspects of cult behaviour will hopefully take them all at once, but this is not usual. Methinks your roommates might not be applicable... but there is a lady that knows about adoption here, she may put her 2 cents in.

So stay away from the kool-aid, fast moving busses, drugs, muggers (hard to do in NY). I would say find Kelly (aka lonelyandsad) she has the same month of birthday as you and likes baseball too. She could use an assistant I am sure. :rolleyes: (all info from your profile) BUT! people seem to drop dead around her too, so thats not good. So stay alive!
Its good you care about the welfare of your children.. But go through the right channels... if this is a real situation. :rolleyes:

But why would someone post the day before going to a lawyer? You will get your answers then, yes? :rolleyes:
Jeesh I haven't used that rolleyes in a post so much... I am getting a headache. :(
