    African American grandparents raising grandchildren face unique challenges. Policy changes are needed to provide better financial support and address the labeling of children, such as those with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Family Studies
    • Public Policy

    Background:

    • African American grandparents are increasingly assuming full-time parenting roles for their grandchildren.
    • These caregivers often step in due to parental issues like substance abuse, incarceration, or death.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the key issues impacting the experiences of African American grandparents parenting a second time.
    • To explore the challenges faced by this specific caregiver population.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative study utilizing a sample from the "Grandparents Who Care" (GWC) support group.
    • Interviews and discussions to gather insights into caregivers' experiences.

    Main Results:

    • Caregivers face significant challenges related to financial support, often receiving less than foster parents.

  • There is a tendency to label children, particularly those exposed to drugs, with conditions like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

    • Conclusions:

    • Social policy requires re-evaluation to better support kinship caregivers.
    • Policies should address the financial disparities between foster parents and grandparents raising grandchildren.
    • The diagnostic labeling of children in these circumstances warrants further investigation.
