A support group for grandparents is a good idea.
Grandparents are the ideal choice. A support group to help them is a good thing.
Free Speech strikes again!
It's good to know there's support out there, because grandparents are a thousand times better foster parents than the oversized and incompetent govt. care system.
Grandparents often can't get custody of grandchildren in a corrupt system that turns foster kids into cash cows.
Grandparents are many times the only thing that keeps a child from losing all hope. This support group is a good thing.
