"the gradmother was the one who raised her 6 kids, all of which had criminal records"
We all raise children but whether they become criminals is not up to us....it is their decision as adults. If there are mental health genetics involved those will not be changed by getting the children out of the bio family.
Myself...I have adopted two boys that both have mental health issues. Research into the family background has shown me that the maternal biological family of the boys had severe mental health issues. This is not something I can change but what I can do is get them the best care possible.
I have also met a grandmother of 76 that had been raising her teen grandchildren all of their lives...all 5 children. The only child that is not excelling in all they do is one that is 21 yrs old with the mind of a 6 month old due to birth injury. Grandma changes her diapers, bathes her and takes pride in her grandchildren.
