AnnotationIn 1995, there were 2.5 million grandparents caring for their grandchildren in the US; 911,000 of those grandparents were the primary caregivers of their grandchildren. These numbers will continue to rise, due to deaths from AIDS, alcohol and substance abuse, divorce, imprisonment, teenage pregnancies, abuse and neglect, unemployment and poverty. This article highlights the legal and financial issues confronted by grandparent caregivers, principally in New York State.
