Hi,
My sister's husband passed away and she is left with 3 kids. She is jobless and cannot take care of all the kids, can anyone here help me get someone to adopt one of my sister's son?

I doubt anyone here can help you find someone to adopt one of your sisters sons.

How is she going to choose which one to give up? This question really disturbs me. Why don't you take one or more of the kids in until she can get back on her feet?

[vachola]

I have more responsibilities myself that is why I cannot adopt her kids. Remember we are orphan and I am the only one who strive to help my remaining siblings. Thanks for your answer though.

How about contacting a social agency to help her get back on her feet?

Adoption is FOREVER. You don't get your kid back. Period.

Maybe she could have someone help with foster care? Or get some help from friends?

If SHE is considering choosing adoption for one of her kids, she's better off contacting an adoption agency.

But does anyone here know of people who can help her e.g with the kids clothes, small fees and maybe some little cash to survive on with the kids, I try my best to help her at times but it is also too much beyond me.

Depending on were you live there should be government assistance programs, goodwill, food stamps etc. I don't know how to go about getting those in place, but if you're in the US it shouldn't be to hard to do. Hopefully someone who knows more about the "system" will come along.

Good Luck.

But we are in Kenya and getting these kind of help form the government is pretty hard but we will keep on trying and see what we can do.

You said it was hard to get help from the government, not impossible, all you can do is try and hope for the best. I wish you and your sister luck, I'm so sorry that she has to go through this.

Take care.

Talk to your church, or to a Christian Missionary program. A lot of times they have resources they don't make generally known to the public.
