The parents should have you named temporary legal guardian of the children. Legal guardianship gives you authority to obtain medical care for the children. It should also address the issue of child support. Will you financially support the children, or will the parents send a regular amount to cover the children's support? It should also address the length of time you will have guardianship, and where the parents will be if you need to contact them.
