Over 17,000 grandchildren are being raised their grandparents in Philadelphia. Many grandparent caregivers may not be aware of the adoption and guardianship services that are available to them. Pennsylvania provides adoptive parents and guardians with different types of assistance, including monthly cash payments to help with living expenses, medical assistance, or other kinds of benefits.
