Review of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

This piece was very informative but at the same time was fairly boring. I stayed listening to it because I was curious about children under grandparents custody. But if I were listening to it on the radio I'd probably change the station. Other than that I felt as if it was though provoking and veru well put together.
