Grandma/Nana wanted

[NotABanana]

I contacted Age Concern asking them if they could help with us adopting a grandma for my kids and a mum for me. They thanked me for a lovely email but they can't help.

Anyone want to be Granny to my kids and mum to me?

We are in Kent btw.

I think it's a lovely idea and I'm sure there would be lots of interest. Next time my Mum starts being a cow, I will tell her to behave herself or we'll replace her with one we like better! :)

In all seriousness though, surely there would need to be some background checking carried out. I would feel wary about allowing a stranger into our family and home without something like a basic background check. I know I sound very cynical but how do you know they are genuine? There are some dodgy opportunists out there, age immaterial!

I am super keen to have a granny for my child and a mum for me. Oh, the thought of family........

Hi Lior. I'd love to help you set it up. We'd love to adopt a granny, have done all the AGE UK rounds with no luck. have you already started? we would love to adopt a granny for years now and if no one is running a scheme i am more then happy to help set one up.
let me know. i am in London Crouch End Muswell Hill

i would love to be adopted as a grandmother/nana to anykids that need one i miss have little ones around mine are all grown up

Just saw this thread and thought what a good idea! My parents are now dead, as are my sister and brother and I would love to have more people in the DCs lives and for them to be in another person's life.

We are in East Sussex if anyone is interested.

One place I worked had a 'adopt an Irish pensioner' scheme. I think it was through a local pensioners club. We went down a few times as we were sponsoring the club and it was great fun.
