[QUOTE="cats55, post: 160018, member: 5337"] Our two grandchildren have been with us on and off their whole life. We finally decided enough was enough and that they needed some stability in their life. Best decision ever! They both settled down and have adjusted so well. They know they have a bed to sleep in (which, by the way, is the same bed night after night) and they know that when they come home from school, we'll be there for them. We did not adopt them, but have thought seriously about it. What we did do, was go through DHS as grandparents taking care of grandkids. DHS pays for their medical & dental and we could have received daycare but recently refused (can't remember exactly why now - wish we hadn't). When we first applied for these services, we were worried about the amount of money that we make and whether that would disqualify us for svcs. We had to report the amount but they didn't take it into consideration. Thank goodness for the medical, though, since our grandson has asthma and has to take breathing treatments 2x day. Good job! This is a big task, I know, but your grandson is and will be so much better because of it. You just hang in there. Because I am 55 yo, I too worried about whether I could keep up with the kids. I take lots of vitamins and pray a whole lot. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! [/QUOTE]
