Despite the challenges, despite the change in lifestyle, despite possibly the alienation from their peer group of other retirees or empty nesters, despite any health, physical or mental health issues that they're dealing with and have to overcome to be a parent once again, they all felt good about their decision.
Imagine stepping into the role of a parent all over again, but this time for your grandchildren. In this heartfelt episode of Rewired Radio, Erica Spiegelman sits down with Dr. Andrew Adesman to shed light on a growing, yet often overlooked issue: grandparents raising their grandchildren due to the birth parents' struggles with addiction. Dr. Adesman, author of 'The Grandfamily Guidebook', shares practical advice and inspiring stories that highlight both the challenges and rewards of kinship care.
He covers everything from dealing with difficult birth parents to navigating legal, financial, and medical hurdles. Most importantly, he emphasizes the joy and fulfillment that come from caring for these young lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in or curious about kinship care, offering valuable resources and a fresh perspective on the resilience and love that define these unique family dynamics.
