Best friend left and her rights are getting terminated

Hey girls! There's been a lot going on and I wanted to catch you guys up. My best friend (not really friends now anymore I guess) lost custody of her 3 kids. They've 14, 9, and 17 months. I took them in. I have 3 kids of my own, 3, 6, and 9. So me and my fiance have 6 kids total. Once I got her kids she didn't do anything she was supposed to. She missed visitations, didn't show up to court, didn't take her parenting classes. Nothing. She also didn't really talk to me anymore. She went out living her best life. She missed her babies 1st birthday and when I asked if she even wanted her kids back she told me to mind my business. So I'm gonna catch you all up on what's been going on. First me and her oldest son have developed an even closer relationship. He told me things I didn't even know happened. He's 14 and would be home watching the kids for days and there would be no food at the house. He bathed them, he got them ready for school, he walked his siblings to school, he changed diapers. All that. I thought she was sometimes neglectful but I never knew how bad it was. He once told me when he turned 18 he was gonna get an apartments for him and his siblings so we wouldn't have to worry about taking care of them. I told him he's not out once he turns 18 and I've been trying to teach him it's okay to be a kid. He still takes over the parenting role sometimes and I have to remind him to relax. He did join soccer so he's doing something he likes. Her 9 year old daughter got her first period. I guess he mom didn't give her the period talk so she though she cut herself down there lol. We had the talk and I gave her some pads and chocolate and my fiance bought her a heating pad and he cooked her favorite dinner. The baby is walking now! I'm so happy about that. All 6 of the kids get alone very well and act like brothers and sisters... Now some of the bad news. My "friend" got a boyfriend... A left... She just got up and moved to the other side of the country. The last time I heard from her was in February because her son was in the hospital because his sister was joking around and accidentally hit him in the nose with a bat and broke it. She just said okay and that was it. So court it terminating her rights. We are looking into possible adoption and we are moving into a bigger house in June. So that's all what's going on in my life. I have doubled the amount of kids I have but I love these babies like my own. I watched all 3 of them be born. I've helded all of them as babies. It's disappointed that years of friendship is going down the drain and I'm stressed but I gotta be strong for all 6 of my kids.

Reply to Ashley: No she had 3. I have 6 in all with her 3.
