The reason she gave us custody is because she was in jail and her husband left them alone. I do not think that it's right to send them with her. She has not been able to give them a normal life for years.
There are several ways in which you may have obtained "temporary custody" of your sister's children. Depending on how this was legally done would govern what, if anything, you can now do to prevent your sister from getting the children back. This is usually a rather complicated matter, and you would be best served actually consulting with an attorney who could review your specific situation, discuss all of the facts with you, and determine what, if anything you could do to retain the children.
The courts always look to the best interest of the children, so keep that in mind.
Best of luck,
