Abstract
Over 1.35 million children in the U.S. are being raised solely by their grandparents. A pilot program recently provided 41 grandfamilies with home- and community-based support services. Grandparents frequently requested and received help in locating assistance for child behavior issues, support/self-help groups, and recreational opportunities. The grandparents' relationships and feelings toward the biological parents appeared strained at best, with issues of anger, responsibility, child involvement and childrearing methods prevalent. The grandparents felt that they had done their best parenting their sons and daughters and did not think that raising them differently would have led to another outcome.
