RE your tagline: So are we; seems like we spent all last year in court. But this case was not drug or crime related.

That 27% figure is really incredible! Do you have a census link on the net for it?

My heart goes out to y'all. It is tough, but worth it... right?? I don't have time to look it (the stats) up now. You can go to the AARP site & look under grandparents raising grandchildren. It is either there, or on a link on the site... called Grandsplace (or something like that.)

I guess I had that wrong. It is a little over 6% nationwide. (Some states, cities, etc, may be in the 27% range. ???) AARP

They changed the AARP webpage since I was there last, but here is the link to Grandsplace
