Your inquiry does not include certain relevant facts, e.g., parental information, residence of children, whether objective is temporary guardianship, your residence, etc. If you are an Illinois resident desiring temporary guardianship of children who are not living with or under the control of their parents, you may contact the IL Dept. of Children and Family Services for consultation, information, explanation of forms and procedures, etc. It is advised to have considered a plan for guardianship, developed in cooperation with their parents or other family who may be involved, including residence, education, support, activities, specific issues of individual children, etc.
If the kids are from and living in Missouri, you need to talk to a Missouri attorney.
