Yeah, this is a tough situation. I'd say you have to do some looking under the porch, because it would be awful to take the mom away. But figure out what you'd have to do if you see other kittens under there, and they won't come out to you. I wonder if you could remove a board temporarily to get underneath, or at least to get a better look.
Thank you for looking out for the cats during this cold time. I just got through something similar (see my "soft touch" thread here), I know it's a lot of work, but it's the right thing to do. I was lucky in that my hubby is very sympathetic to cats too.
Good luck, and keep us updated!
