Re: Cps
You need to convince the court that they may be adequately supervised by Stanislaus county child protection services. That may be accomplished by a motion. Contact me directly.
Re: Cps
You should call CPS and ask them what is the hold up. If the parents consent to you being the foster parent that should provide some weight for CPS to release the children into your care.
As always please consult with a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck.

Re: Cps
There are two factors that may be causing the situation. 1st Stanislaus county it too far from San Diego County for parents to have regular contact with the boys. 2nd CPS is looking for foster family that will adopt if reunification is not successful. The time for reunification is only 6 months for children under three years of age. You should immediately contact CPS and if they are not willing to place the child with you then retain an attorney immediately.
