Should You Step in to Parent Your Grandniece or Grandchild? – Weekend Wisdom

Weekend Wisdom: Should You Step in to Parent Your Grandniece or Grandchild?

Q: I’m 67 years old. My niece has gotten involved bad with drugs. Her 5 and 3 year old were taken away from her and now the child welfare agency wants to know if I will take them. My niece has been doing drugs a long time and I honestly don’t know if she’s ever going to be able to get them back. I feel like I don’t have a choice.
