Some states in this coutnry allow certain family members some semblance of visitation rights with respect to minor children despite objections by the parents. I suggest that you and your twin consult with a family law attorney in your community to see if your state has a statute in effect allowing the possibility for visitation of the minors that you have written about in your qurestion.
