When grandparents become parents


We have been asked by a number of our visitors to include a section for Grandparents who for whatever reason have become the main carers of their grandchildren.

Where we find another site that offers the support we believe you would like need our policy is not to duplicate it by further extending our own content but rather to offer a link to the external site.

The Family Rights Group have an excellent article on their site 'Second Time Around: A guide for grandparents raising their grandchildren'

To see the article visit www.frg.org.uk/index.asp and click on the 'Grandparent Carers' option.
