Have you talked to DHS? Have you told them you want to care for your grandson?

That's your first step.

Yes they know I am filled out all the forms but they do a state background check and I know these are going to show up

Did you tell them about the warrants? Did they say anything about your chances?

BIG mistake. You should have told them. I would call them and tell them before they find them.
