Legal guardians after my SIL passed away in 2019. He’s pretty happy today!


Where's the father ???



That’s kind of a long story I guess. Abbreviated version is that he moved here from Guinea-Bissau to go to college 20+ yrs ago. Met my SIL, got married and had two kids. My SIL being a bi-polar alcoholic was probably too much to deal with and they divorced. He went into the military and served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know he tried to keep in touch as much as he could, but my SIL threatened him with all kinds of stuff. He’s now remarried and some kind of economics/finance professional outside of DC. He talks to his son pretty often and will have him for a month this summer. At the time though, Miles (my nephew) knew us much better and we have boys of similar age. Whatever happens down the road is up in the air, but everyone just wants what’s best for the kid.
