I Am a Foster Grandmother

I am a foster grandmother. I was going to wait until Mother's Day to write this, but I can't because I'm so excited about it. I now have people calling me Grandma. I now read books to children and they sit on my lap.

I saw the flyer and decided to investigate. I went for the interview. I passed the physical. I passed the background check. I went to the orientation. I got my assignment last week. I am a foster grandmother. I love it.

I think I've written in another blog entry that I gave a daughter up for adoption. I turned 61 and realized I would never see my grandchildren. At 61 I wanted grandchildren. I'm not sure whether it's a woman thing or what, but I wanted grandchildren. When I saw the flyer I realized I could help some children and I could be a grandmother, even if it was only a foster grandmother.
