Please I need you people's advice and I want to be as brief and straight to the point.

My sister gave birth to 2 children under circumstances I'm not to explain here. She took ill and passed away last month.

Since we were just two of us, (our parents are late) the responsibility of taking care of this little kids of 8 and 5 has fallen on me.

God knows I love these kids and would take them as my own but I don't have a job and struggling seriously to survive. It's killing since they became my full responsibility. I was thinking any of the extended family member or a good person would come up to take them.

House rent has expired and problems everywhere.

Since no where else to take them to, I'm considering taking them to the orphanage. It's not my fault please. If I have the means, i would keep them and take very good care of them as they are very dear to me.

Like i said, i love this two boys and would take them as mine, providing for them now as it should, is the challenge.

Their presence is even affecting the small thing I am doing, especially by way of paying attention to them.

Please advise me on what to do.

This is really said honestly. It saddens my heart to read things like this.
I understand you have good intentions, you are willing to care for them but just not able. That is understandable. I suggest putting them in an orphanage especially as you mentioned you're now unable to pay your rent. You can't be homeless with children. At least an orphanage will give them a place to stay.
But maybe, since you say you love them as your own children you could tell the orphanage you don't want them being adopted so that in the future when things are better for you, you could get them back.
It's sad that their father is most likely a deadbeat who doesn't want to be involved.

Loveabove, how far? Did you find a place for the boys yet? Have you at least had the talk to them explaining why you need to put them in an orphanage and the advantages versus the disadvantages of going homeless with them? Please do not hide anything from them about what is going on and what your intents are so they are assured that you are not also abandoning them like their father and their mother before you did. (YES, to kids, even when a parent died, it does feel like an abandonment --- rejection even.) undecided

Thank you for your concern. They have been contact online and offline asking me to hold on with them for a while and they will get back to me. So they are still with me for now.

Ok. Please make sure those kids are equally aware of the situation so they don't get the wrong idea ---- like thinking you are trying to sell them off. At that age, the imagination can run pretty wild. I do hope you can find gainful employment soonest so you don't have to be separated from those children at all. undecided
