纽约生育诊所RMA of New York LLP的心理医师乔治亚·维特金(Georgia Witkin)建议想抱孙子的老人为自己的低落心情寻找其他出口。62岁的作家玛丽·简·霍顿就为一个12岁的领养孩子担任法庭指定的代理人。霍顿说:“她不是小婴儿了,但我还是得像照顾孙子一样花些精力。”她的职责包括和女孩的治疗师、社工和医生谈话,代表女孩参加法庭听证会。此外,她说:“我每个月要去看她两三次。我带她去看电影,我是她生活中靠得住的那个人。”
'She's not a baby, but it still takes some of that energy that I want to put into a grandchild and devotes it to a child,' Ms. Horton says. Among other duties, she speaks to the girl's therapist, social worker and doctor and goes to court hearings on her behalf. Beyond that, she says, 'I see her two or three times a month. I take her to the movies. I am the one steady person she has had in her life.'
新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基(Albuquerque)的64岁老人芭芭拉·拉格雷(Barbara LaGree)说,她的建议是“过自己的生活,不要把希望寄托在不一定会发生的事情上”。因此,她说,在等待儿子(37岁)和女儿(34岁)生孩子的同时,她和70岁的老伴布鲁克斯(Brooks)“试图把遗愿清单上的事一件件完成”。这其中包括今年夏天去加拿大落基山脉(Canadian Rockies)的班夫(Banff)旅游,以及明年去新西兰。
