We don't have any yet. If my brother did end up having kids, I'd take them if something happened. He has enough assets & ins where we wouldn't have to worry about financially supporting them. If mr. Bird's brother & sister had children (obviously not together!) I'm not sure who they would want to have them. My BIL, I dunno, we would if he died, but probably not if he couldn't care for them & we were expected to encourage a relationship between him & the kids. SIL, I'm guessing her FI would want his family to have them, but we could make it work. I'd hope they would take out life ins to help.

I would absolutely take my brothers kids. I love them and am very close with them so it would be a no brainer for me. My DH's siblings don't have any kids yet but I could see it being challenging if I already had several kids or we weren't as close or bonded with the kids if they lived far away. But I know we would make it work some how.

I know my bro a and SIL have set up a simple will and designated someone after their first was born 10 years ago. I was not asked so assume it's not me. My parents don't even know. I asked my mom last year about it and she questions if they actually set up the will. They are huge procrastinators. Her family is not an option so it would be her friend or my parents- who told them straight up no, or us. At the time I had just started dating DH, had just bought my first house and was adamant I was not having kids. Sometimes I worry they did choose and did t choose me because I was young and said I didn't want kids. Now kids is all we talk about!
But short answer- yes we would take the 3 kids in a heart beat if that is what they chose. We love them to pieces and babysit as much as we can. That was their Xmas present- dinner and a night of babysitting! My bro said it was th best gift ever!! -
Absolutely! With or without insurance policies, space or no space. We would make it work.

None of our siblings have children yet, but if they did, I would take my BIL's kids, no question. I'd take my own brother's as well, but we aren't as close so I doubt they'd ask us to take them in the first place.
-
Absolutely, no question. Its not likely ever going to happen though. My brother doesn't ever want kids (and he isn't married). My SILs would leave kids to eachother or to their parents in S. America where the family lives.

Bring it on!.... the kids... not the tragic
-
In a heartbeat, we already had that chat with my BILs family and they named us as guardians in their will, so we'd take their son. Not sure either of my brothers have a plan in place, but if it came to it we would if course take them in.
-
Yes but I know that for now they would go to my parents.
-
Yep! My sisters child or my best friend's two kids.

My only sibling is actually only 18- so no little ones yet. However, I would graciously take in her future children.
I have an 11 year age difference with my sister and at one point in our lives, both of my parents were ill. I came to terms with the fact that if anything happened to my parents that I would actually step up and be her provider and support person. I would support her through think and thin.
@MADAMBABYFEVER- I think that the will is a very good idea.

Wouldn't matter if we were in a position or not. We'd take them and make it work. Having said that, we only have 1 niece, so it would be pretty easy.
