Over 3 million Americans are full time parents to their grandchildren. In today's episode we explore the growing reality of grandparents stepping into the role of full-time parents to their grandchildren. Stacy Sanchez shares her personal journey of how one day DHS showed up on her porch with her grandson. She had no time to prepare for becoming a full-time parent to her grandson she just stepped up and did the best she could. Now Stacy shares her story in the hopes of helping other grandparents in the same situation.
