Some things are meant to be. "I swear they are trying to make us change our minds and keep them all." Do you feel that you are meant to be their forever mom? It sure seems that way. And they have surely won both yours and your mom's hearts by now. They think they are "home" with you, of course, and will be bewildered when split up. I can sense your conflicted feelings, and know that you really want to keep them. It is only your concern for your elderly mom that is giving you "paws" for thought. Mum has made it this far though ...
How badly will you kick yourself if you do not keep them? What does your heart say? Can your mom continue to cope while they get their "kitten" out of their systems? It seems she has not only done well, she has thrived on their daily cuteness and love, though perhaps not admitted it. Of course, you know what is best.
Will you always be wondering about your babies?
It happens to us foster moms sometimes. We fall in love, and we ... adopt! It is a hazard of the business, but it is life-affirming; positive. When we fall in love, we accept it and go with it, and make accommodations for it.
Consider throwing practicality to the wind, and follow your heart. Things have a way of working out the way they are meant to be. Sometimes the deal is sealed before we even realize it or accept it. I am sending fairy dust sprinkles to you and your brood, in hopes that your decision will be magical and heartfelt, and bring you every happiness, whatever that may be!
