70 year old grandma got custody of new born

One of my friends was fostering a new born infant girl for three months. She loved the baby and the baby even looked like her. They thought for sure they would be able to adopt, because the only person with out a criminal background is the 70 year old grandma. The courts ended up giving the grandma custody! This is not a wonam who has taken great care of herself. She is 70, but looks like she is 80! She can't drive, so how can she take the baby to all the doctor appointments? The baby is on several medications, but the grandma can't see well enough to figure out what medication she is giving the baby. She will have to live to be 90 to raise the child to 20! How is she going to hear the baby cry at night? How is she going to carry her when the baby gets a little older and heavier? She has to sit down and have someone hand the child to her in order for her to hold the baby as it is. What sense does that make? Seriously... Can anyone make sense out of that decision??
