I have no idea how to go about doing this. I want to though, I would HATE for my precious babies to be in the hands of anyone in my family.

We have decided that my sil who is the oldest sibling will take the kids.  After her it is my brother, and then my husband's siblings based on age.  However they have to be in a stable relationship, and able to financial afford to raise all 3 of them because i do not want them to seperated.

My daughter's Godparents are one of my older brothers and my cousin, whom I'm closest to..since I don't have a sister. I wanted to make sure they were both family because I think you could lose close contact with a good friend much easier. If anything were to happen to me or my boyfriend, I think I'd designate my brother as the guardian, though. He doesn't have kids of his own, has a great job, and could focus on her. Whereas my cousin has two kids and is VERY busy.

It's kind of scary to think about this, though.

We haven't done it officifally, but we need to.
Our decision was based on who we felt would raise our children most like we would, who could support them, who wouldn't squander their SS money (unfortunately that's something we had to consider), etc.
My parents are the first stop.  I'd trust my mom to raise my kids closely to the way I'd have raised them, and to save their money, use it for THEM, make sure they get into college, etc.
Our secondary is either going to be my sister (depends on where she is in life if the occasion ever arose) or my husband's adopted dad and stepmom.

Anyone else is either too old or too untrustworthy.

My sister. Luckily that was a no brainer for my husband and I. She is awesome and a wonderful mother.

Our sons Godparents would take over raising him. They are beautiful people but they are also real! Lord help our son if my family got him which will NOT happen.

me and my hubby took care of that before our daughter was born, it was important to us to know she would be ok.

thank God I'd say my Mom first then if she couldn't continue my sister I know they are both very good choices and love our sons deeply.

I would hate to think of a stranger or the state making those decisions for us.

wow it's very depressing is so right.
