Some of the most influential relationships in life are between grandparents and grandchildren. About 70 million people in We are grandparents And about 70 percent Americans say they are important, according to Yougov.
But distance, busy programs, stressful relationships, and Adults choose not having children Many families have left without them. Fast, some are moving to unconventional solutions.
Aitors Anderson Turner and Lewis Turner, who are increasing twin boys in Southern California – Cayden and Cameron – realized two years ago that something was missing from his family.
Anderson Turner said, “We were talking about the village, village, which you know, we had grown up, would like to come to grandfather -grandfather and like walking out or just providing our intelligence,” said Anderson Turner.
Keden and Cameron’s ancestral grandparents live all over the country. Anderson Turner’s father died during the Kovid -19 epidemic, and his mother is not actively involved.
“I was so,” My God, I want someone to be like a kind to adopt, “he said. “I like, can you just trolling, such as nursing homes and can say, ‘Hey, like, is anyone needed like a grandson?” ,
Instead, the family discovered and found online Surrogate Grandpa -Dadi USAA Facebook group with around 12,000 members.
Less than 100 miles, Janet Firesten Dav was looking for the same thing – grandson. When he heard about the Facebook group, he immediately saw its ability.
“I thought it was great. I thought it was amazing because it was going to fill a need that I really have,” said Firestein Daw.
Firestein Dav has five children, but she says she “very clear” she did not plan to give it to her grandson.
“I was growing up and I wanted to get down on the floor and wanted to play Legos and trains and read books,” she explained.
Surrogate Dada -Dadi came in the photo of the Firestein Daw Turner family, scrolling through the USA Facebook page. She reached the family to see if they were interested in talking. Firestein Dav says that they are “immediately connected,” and planned their first meeting in a public park.
“That moment [the kids] He met him, he hugged him a big hug and it was fine, well, “said Anderson Turner.
That was two years ago. Today, Firesten Dau, with love, is completely called “Nana J”, is a completely part of the Turner family.
When asked about her favorite things about Nana J, the boys said that they enjoy how she plays with her, shows movies, having fun, and treats her with kindness.
Anderson Turner said the relationship is a relief.
“It has been so, Oh, waiting is removed from my shoulders. She is on trips with us, we have celebrated Hanukka, she has gone to the library with us, so many things that I strictly wanted for my children and we meet with Janet,” said Anderson Turner.
Firestein Daws said that the boys filled a lifetime zero. “This is indescribable to me, because I did not experience that grandparents. I like it,” he said.
After the first year with her surrogate grandson, the youngest child of Firestein Dav surprised her from the news: she was going to be a child.
His granddaughter was born in March. But his love for Cameron and Cayed has not changed. “It has not changed anything. Nothing changes for me, those boys are mine,” he said.
For Turner, the relationship has brought a sense of completion. “It’s like closing a loop,” said Anderson Turner. “And by adding it to it, we feel full.”
Surrogate Dada -Dadi -Dadi USA Group is growing, with the founder Donna Skora saying that she is surprised by how many unconventional families have formed through it. She says that it is always dependent on the discretion of the parents and the security should always be followed when someone gets it online.
