Well, do what YOU think is best. Don't let yourself get suckered into it by guilt or weird obligations for people you don't know.
Well for the kids futures in THIS economy, and the way i know their granddaddy would have wanted them to be raised...as SS as possible...I know if they came here it would be terrific for them, and perhaps for us as well.
I don't like my cousin, their mother, and everybody knows i can't stand her...so no guilt going on, it's more akin to begging than guilt tripping. ALL of my family knows, that IF you EVER cross me...I'm DONE with you and no love lost when it's over either. If not, the shirt off my back is as good as yours if you need it. Those kids have done nothing against me, and this is not FOR their mother, but instead for them, and partilly for my dear uncle whom I miss terribly, to honor his memory through them in a sense, because he taught me everything I know about gardening.
Taking them in would be the honorable thing to do
I love my family, all 10,000 of them
Mom's side is HUGE, and I know all the way to the 4th and 5th cousins by first name basis usually, with the exception of these kids, and I would like to get to know them. I dunno if it is the right thing per se, or the BEST thing for ALL, but it would be good if we let it be. God's Will be done...that's all I can say. If it is to be, the door will fly open, if not, another door will open in it's place for those kiddos. I am willing.
It has been 7 years or better since I last saw them, and they were ALL practically babies then.
