Mama June Shannon recently opened up about her concerns regarding the custody of her daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell's children in the event of Anna's passing due to her stage 4 cancer diagnosis. In a candid conversation with her husband and mother-in-law, Mama June discussed the possibility of taking custody of Anna's eldest child to ensure her well-being.
The family is facing the difficult task of preparing for the future, with Mama June expressing worries about the fate of Anna's daughters, Kaitlyn Elizabeth and Kylee Madison. She revealed that Anna's ex-partner, Eldridge Toney, may not be able to care for the children, prompting her to consider providing a home for them.
Mama June also shared that Anna's youngest daughter, Kylee, would automatically go to her father, while the custody of Kaitlyn remains uncertain. Anna had expressed a desire for Eldridge to adopt Kaitlyn, but Mama June highlighted challenges in making this a reality.
Reflecting on her role in raising Kaitlyn during her early years, Mama June expressed her willingness to provide for the child's needs. However, concerns were raised about the couple's readiness to take on the responsibility of raising a 12-year-old girl, given Anna's health challenges.
The emotional conversation underscored the complexities of determining custody arrangements and the impact it would have on Anna. Mama June acknowledged the difficulty of the situation and the realization that Anna may not witness significant milestones in her daughter's life.
In a tragic turn of events, Mama June later announced Anna's passing in December 2023, revealing that Anna had died peacefully at home. The family's journey through this challenging time is chronicled in the series 'Mama June: Family Crisis,' offering viewers a glimpse into their struggles and decisions.
'Mama June: Family Crisis' airs on WE tv, providing a raw and honest portrayal of the Shannon family's experiences during this trying period.
