All, I can say is WOW!!!!

I know a foster mom/dad who have two babes, one being 4 months, and the other is 15 months. They are in their late 60's, and they truly amaze me. They have as much energy as we do. lol They have actually considered adopting the 15 month old. Should something happen to them, their son and DIL would have taken on the responsibility of raising her. They have since decided not to adopt her because of their age and felt it wouldn't be fair to the little one.

It isn't something I would want at 70, but I know of many who are raising their grandchildren at that age and doing wonderfully.
