Unplanned Grandparenting

Tammy Daughtry, founder of CoParenting International, joins Christine Grimmett to share how her own family of origin story has inspired her to reach out to parents who are facing unplanned grandparenting. There are many fears that your client faces, especially when it comes to telling her own parents about her pregnancy. Tammy talks about the ways your ministry can work to strengthen those family relationships and help each parent and grandparent look to the future with hope, recognizing the gift of each life.
