Hi My names Lynn and we are a couple in our 50s who have a lot of love
to give to a family and grandchildren. We live in the Doncaster area and would love to talk to anyone who has no grandparents in their childrens lives.

Lynni You sound a very loving couple, but you would be better on Mumsnet, not Gransnet.
On here we are mainly already grandparents.

LynniWhilst I agree with ella about mumsnet being the best place have you thought of maybe asking to help part time at one of your local nurseries or being a part-time childrens assistant at one of the reception classes at your local schools,I know you will need to be CRB checked but once that is in place a loving couple like yourself would be invaluable.smile

We've had a couple of mums on here looking for grannies, so it's always worth checking in occasionally or bumping this thread up to the top from time to time.

I think we had one not so long ago crimson

Lynn I have had a quick look as there have been a few threads from Mums looking for Grandparents, I have copied the links for you.

There was also a thread from a Mum with I think 3yr old twins confused but dont quote me on it.
