Hello Springforth, and welcome to NeuroTalk.

That sounds like a big ambition to be considering raising a great grand daughter. As much as I admire you for even thinking about the possibility, have you considered your own health, financial status and age?

I'm a Grandma, and I would love to take over the raising of my one and only grand son if there was no-one else to do it, but I'm sneaking up towards 60 now, and I have MS and hubby has a bad back. Neither do DH and I have finances to assist us bring up a grand-child even if we agreed.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with this one, but do think about it and I wish you all the best.

Welcome again, it's good to have you with us.
