Older parents
On the other hand, my parents had me when they were 39. My father had a debilitating stroke while I was in college and my mother died of pancreatic cancer a few years later. My daughter basically has no grandparents on my side at all as my own grandparents are deceased as well.
People need to think things through very carefully as to what they will be subjecting their children to later in life. What teen or twenty-something wants to plan their parents' funerals? I didn't like it.
I am a staunch opponent of the over-fifty crowd adopting infants and toddlers.
