"Mrs. Elizabeth Smith" is 83 years old, battling cancer and has raised her ­great-grandchildren ages 16, 13 and 8 all of their lives. Since infants, the girls have been raised by Ms. Smith and her daughter, their grandmother, who had legal custody until her death in 2014. The children's biological mother has a long history of drug addiction and homelessness and has never been able to raise her own children.
