Took care of him for two years. Was the legal guardian for one. Where my sister would have been homeless and childless she now has a job, car, apartment, and custody of her child back. I'm still playing babysitter-lite until DCF hooks her up with a daycare service but yeah... for all the stress and heartache this whole thing ended up being a success because she finally hit rock bottom and admitted she is not well, her current legal status granting her the help she so desperately needs and she finally grew up to the point to where the government no longer fears the child being in her custody. Not kidding. For a year she wasn't even allowed unsupervised visitation... but now she's all set. So... yay!
