Have the parental rights of the twins parents been terminated? Will they be? Is this a DHR case? Is there an Individual Safety Plan in place? The grandparents don't have any rights to determine what happens to the children, only the court decides that. Please provide additional information so I can provide an answer to you. Good luck
