I am currently pregnant with my first child and I am looking for some grandparent(s) for it. Sadly both myself and my partner don’t have our parents in our lives and knowing how close I am with my grandparents it makes me sad to think my little one will not have this special relationship.
I am looking for someone I suppose also to be a little bit of a mum to me, I am obviously grown up now and a very independent person but I am finding that the older I get the more I want a parent(s)! I’ve got married with no parents which was really difficult and I have hit all of the milestones but I feel I could really use some support with the next big step! Nothing more than advice, a coffee now and then and some positivity and encouragement – what mums do I suppose!! I am still close to my grandparents but sadly they are not in the best of health and getting older. I am a big support to them but I don’t like to ask anything of them.
Hopefully this surrogate parent(s) would then become a grandparent to my child, again just being there for support/advice and perhaps the odd day out – picnics, crafts, baking etc – again what grandparents do!!
Age is irrelevant but someone fit, healthy, positive and caring.
I live in Chipping Sodbury in Bristol.
