The U.S. Census Bureau says that 7.8 million American children live in households headed by grandparents. Most are part of what’s called ‘three-generation’ families that includes a parent. But 2.6 million children are primarily the responsibility of their grandparents and more than 1 million have no parent in the home. Two-thirds of those grandparents are younger than 60 and about 20 percent live in poverty.
