[QUOTE="ksm, post: 450400, member: 12511"] Will your grandson keep whatever health insurance that he might have had before? Will you be able to add him to your health insurance? Will he qualify for assistance in your state? Since we have adopted our two DGD's I realize how much financial responsibility we have taken on at our age. Are their any grandparent support groups in your area? Can you talk to the school counselor and find out what is available in your community? One other suggestion - do you attend a church? Sometimes a church with an active youth group and an understanding youth minister can really help your GS fit in with some new kids and have activities. It will be expecting a lot to go to a regular high school, and have vision and learning disabilities and expect him to fit in and make friends with students that already have their friends and don't have any disabilities. Thanks for stepping up and being there for your grandson. One thing our therapist told us after our difficult child (GDG age 13) started acting out at home... after the honeymoon phase... when they know you are still going to be there for them... they seem to start acting out because they feel it is safe to do so.
