I think she's thinking more along the lines of 8 years is HARDLY temporary. It's more than half the time they've existed on this earth. Honestly, if I were your mother, you'd be taking me to court to get those kids back too. You can't just take them off the shelf 8 years later when you're ready.
And your asking 12 year olds where they want to live shows your lack of sound judgment. The same way you didn't give them a choice as to where they wanted to live 8 years ago is the same way they don't have a choice today.
