Hi there,
I've joined this site as a solo parent (44yrs) to a beautiful nearly 3 yr old, in the hope that I can find her a grandma / grandpa... I think there are many others in my position, who would also love to adopt grandparents, to help care for their children, where there is no grandparental support available. I live in Eastbourne, but considering a move to Sedlescombe / Hastings way, so ideally would like someone relatively close. Someone who clicks with our family, has a zest and energy for life and time to spend with me and my small child, building a relationship, so that I also have an emergency contact locally. I currently wouldn't know who I could contact if god forbid I became unwell for any reason, so it's a huge worry to have a very small dependent, with no support network and again, I should think there are many single mothers in the same boat, who would love to find a support network through meeting a grandma / grandpa or both, who could nurture their kids, which would provide a 2 way relationship support, as I'm sure there are also lots of grandparents, who either don't have grandchildren, or live far away from them, who miss this type of relationship and support system x I have a very attached style of parenting, so want someone to be more like a family member to enjoy time altogether, until my child connects / builds a strong bond, which may aid going out alone, but primarily it's about building a 'family' network locally xx Tiffany. I'm also into naturopathy and alternative health, trained as a Holistic Practitioner and Healer, so a like minded interest would be great, but not essential.
