Under the scenario that was painted with minimal contact, I would need more information before deciding. Are the first parents interested in seeking more of a relationship with my child? If that is the case, then they could visit where we live for a week. (We live in a place where people come from all over the world to vacation, so it would hardly be less than festive.) I would be open to setting up another vacation depending on what I saw from them. It's an honest answer which is probably going to be less than popular.

I have a DSS that is that age, so this scenario is hard for me to fully see. That age is more interested in their peers than family. It seems that just like when the child is little, it really is up to the adult parents to do the work to ensure that the child spends time with family. At least that has been my experience.
