Dear all,
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place but thought it was worth a go. My Husband and I adopted our Son a year ago. He is a delight, funny and great company and brings great joy into our lives. Sadly this joy is a little over shadowed by the fact he has no Grandparents to share our joy.
My Husbands parents died a few years ago and my Parents remarried. My Dad and Step Mum both passed in 2011 and this is a huge blow (especially for me) as they were so excited about our Son joining the family. Our son is not entirely without grandparents, my Mum is still alive but is not a very pro- active Gran and doesn't really wanted to be very involved with any of her Grandchildren. She is quite busy with her new life and new partner.
I am looking for people who have missed out on being Grandparents or those that would like to do it again. Ideally people who may in future years support outdoor pursuits that my Dad would have done (such as fishing and football). I am not looking for someone to take over my parental responsibilities such as childminding and babysitting (though this would be welcomed if appropriate in the future). I just miss having someone to talk to as my Dad and Step Mum were wonderful people who are sadly missed and I feel our Son is missing out on these vital members of the family. Everyone who knows our Son adores him and we know he'd bring joy into anyone's life who met him. He's been so worth that wait and the years of fertility problems.
We live in South Yorkshire. I would welcome any interest or questions from male or female prospective Grandparents.
Kind regards and best wishes to you all xxxx
