Is it possible to be a foster grandparent in a way that I can take a child to festivals, carnivals, to the park, for a walk, and to museums, and to read to them and teach them. I really would like to be able to with one child about age 3 or 4. I have a clean background. I am a kind and considerate person. I love children. I am almost 60 yrs. of age, and in good health. I have experience in helping an elderly gentleman as an in home caregiver. Please write back to my email address. Thank you. Debbie Lawson 3/7/2012

I do love the children and i have lots of great nieces and nephews. I just would like that little one that needs to be read too and taught different things. It does bother me that so many children are being passed ahead when they don't even know how to read. Thank you for your time. P S i am 65, and my twin truly is 65. I refuse to grow up only i am responsible trust me. I would love to be a foster grandparent, my husband died in 2009. I do love the children and i have lots of great nieces and nephews.

I would love to be a surrogate grandmother to kids who either have no grandparents or whose own grandparents live far from them. I live in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area. How do I go about helping out? I currently volunteer with children and have criminal and child abuse background clearance. Does anyone have any ideas where I could get started?

I am a foster parent to a 7 month old little girl named Helen. We live in Boynton Beach, FL. I am anticipating adopting Helen in the coming year. My family is small as I am a single parent with just one sibling who I do not see much of. I am 44 and a widow. My inlaws live in NY, so we don't get to see them at all. My parents live 11 miles from us and we visit them, but I would love for Helen to have 2 sets of grandparents to love her. I loved my grandparents very much and the role they had in my life was so special. If there is a way to find a surrogate grandma and/or grandpa for Helen, that would be wonderful! Hi.
