Story
Maternal grandmother is in the process of building a relationship with her infant granddaughter. This will done through unsupervised visits coordinated with the licensed placement. Maternal grandmother expressed a need for extra support to help with the bonding between herself and the infant. These items include diapers, formula, and cribs/toys that are developmentally appropriate for a 1-2 month old infant. Maternal Grandmother could use some of these concrete supports to help foster a more infant orientated environment in the household. When this need is met, Maternal Grandmother will be able to focus more on developing a bond with the newborn instead of having to focus on meeting concrete needs. Prolonged contact between Maternal Grandmother and infant granddaughter is being highly encouraged by DCS. These concrete needs will help support the transition from no infants in the home to having an infant in the home.
