I belong to a "grannies group", a local support group for permanent carers of their grandchildren. This was taken at a Christmas party we attended this week. I only care for 1 grandchild; the other two women pictured here care for 5 and 6 respectively. We have a lot of fun together while providing great support for each other. That is me on the left!!!!

Hi Sandra - good to see you. I am very happy to have my gr'children when I am asked, but to have them 100% it can't be easy. My eldest gr'son is 20 and he lived with us last year for 7 months. The 9th gr'child is 9 months, so they're all spread out.
The children are all lucky to have you super grandparents look after them.

Good that you have a group for support. I have several friends who have adopted their grandchildren too.
