       According to The US Census 2000, there are 2,350,477 grandparents in the USA that are responsible for raising one or more of their grandchildren. Countless other grandparents and other concerned relatives are dealing with situations in which they wish their grandchildren lived in safer, healthier environments. 

       At this site we hope to provide a safe and accepting environment where caregivers can join together and give each other the support and comfort we need. Please understand, we are not a legal service. We do not have a lawyer on our staff and cannot provide any legal, binding information on a given situation. What we can provide is a caring, knowing, and sympathetic ear because we have been there or are there.
