Grandparents health condition/requirements

Hi, I dont know if there are "official" requirements but for my second FC a preemie-GMA in her early 70's with a heart condition was able to take the baby after I had cared for her for the first month..(I knew all along someone in the family would get the child-I just never expected it to be a retired GMA with a heart condition)

Oh wow. I'm surprised to hear that too. Heart condition automatically sounds serious, but I guess in that case it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Thank you for your help.

It's a very low standard. All anyone in NJ needs is a doc's letter saying "any medical condition person has won't prevent them from being able to parent." They should care more about the 55+ place except some condo associations have exceptions for grandchildren. I would try to find out what the rules are for their place (how strict the place is and how much they enforce it). My mom's place was very strict. They (state) also place a lot of importance on what bio parents want...if bio mom prefers grandparents, it will carry a lot of weight.

Thank you. I don't know, I know they have some serious problems that they have TOLD us prevent them from caring for her as well as they should. And I tried looking into the community a little yesterday, and I learned that you have to be 19 to live there (originally thought 15), but I didn't learn anything about how much they enforce it or if they make exceptions. I'm just so worried for her, I keep praying something with them won't work out and she'll be able to come stay with us where I KNOW she'd be better off, no doubt about it.
