My 9 yo son’s grandmother just passed away and I’m now starting the process of adopting grandparents. This was my 1st step and what an “encouragement”. My husband died when my son was 2 and being an “only” child doesn’t mean he has to be a “lonely” child. My journey may be a long one, however, one I’m definately ready to begin.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. – Richard Bach
I find myself at life’s halfway mark with a family assembled in bits and pieces along the way–few of them blood relatives. These easy, selective relationships lift and nurture me, and I am so grateful. Grandparents? Bring them on!

When our first grandson was adopted by his family, I guess we were inadvertently “adopted” as grandparents to their first adopted son. It has been a wonderful relationship!

The cynical me is trying to find something sinister about this, but I just can’t. I honestly never thought about adopting one another as adults. This happened rather informally for us growing up, but we never called it adoption. What a great story!
