An Educational Web Site Providing Follow-up to the National Satellite Video Conference, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Legal and Policy Issues


The national videoconference, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Legal and Policy Issues was broadcast on February 27, 2001 to 3,222 participants at 261 sites in 45 states. From the faxes and e-mails we have received since the program, we know that there is continuing interest.
