I'm not sure if anyone on this forum can help me, but here goes:
Three weeks ago, we won permanent residency for my three stepchildren. I am the petitioner and I am married to their father. Their mother is deceased. Since their natural mother is deceased, is guardianship automatically conferred or will I need to go through another legal process? My long-term goal (within the next year) is adoption. We live in Louisiana and the children are at this point still Honduran citizens.
Thank you for any assistance you might be able to give.
