Could I have a private post please ❤️

Really hoping that you lovely people in here can help me !
Bit of a long and sensitive one so please bare with me.

I met my beautiful best friend 3 years ago, by complete accident in a car park when 3 of her now 6! Children where running around with a trolley and she was flustered! I stopped to help rally them up! And we became friends. We have an amazing friendship and see each other most days, we are constantly in each other’s life and I love her to death.
…roll on 3 years, and another 3 kids! (I have 2 of my own too!) and she has been diagnosed with end stage initial breast cancer that has spread throughout and to her liver and brain, it isn’t a case of IF but WHEN she passes. And she hasn’t got long.
She has, besides me, absolutely no support system. No family, no parter (he left a year ago for another woman and wants nothing to do with her/or the children.)
She has asked me the most heartbreaking of questions ..will I raise her 6 children and keep them together.
Now, probably realistically and financially I am not in a position to do this, but of course I have said yes and I will do everything in my power to be able to make it happen. I love them all, and I’d welcome them into my home as if they were my own in a heartbeat.
Is this even possible? Will I be allowed to do this? I know it’s going to be a struggle, I’m 31 and will have 8 kids under the age of 10 under my roof!
What do I do, who do I contact?
I haven’t a clue where to even start, all I know is that I have to try by hardest to make this happen as I can’t bare the thought of these 6 beautiful little people being thrown into the care system and inevitably split up.
Am I crazy for thinking that this is a possibility? What do I do about the father who hasn’t seen his children for a year?
Also, how can I best support her and the kids, the older ones know what’s happening, the younger ones don’t. I want to be there and make this as easy as as humanly possible for those kids. We’re trying desperately to keep everything as normal as possible for them but it’s obviously getting harder by the day 😭
Any advise appreciated ❤️
