Plenty of kids around that don’t have a full family to support them. These non-grandparents could volunteer as an adoptive grandparent if they’re that desperate to pass on knowledge and be around children.

my mom is a retired special ed teacher and has taken a big interest in helping a neighbor (divorced) with their young autistic child. maybe this is partly why, hadn’t thought about that.
